Want to make a difference in your community?
Young people know better than anyone what it’s like growing up today.
That’s why we’re bringing together a team of young people to help lead conversations, create content and connect with others in their communities.
You’ll work alongside other young people to develop ideas, run activities and use social media to reach people who might otherwise miss out on valuable information, support and opportunities.
No experience needed. Just bring your ideas and enthusiasm.
The programme is just kicking off so this is YOUR opportunity to shape something new.
The Young Futures Youth panel will bring together a group of 16–25-year-olds to make a difference across Kent. Through a series of online and in-person workshops our youth panel will learn about key transition to adulthood topics. The panel will also co-develop resources and campaigns to support other young people struggling with similar issues and will help our team roll out this programme across Kent in schools, colleges, youth groups and universities.
As part of the panel, you will
→ Make a difference in your community
→ Build confidence and learn new skills
→ Gain experience that stands out on your CV
→ Meet new people and make connections
→ Be part of positive change across Kent
