What is a Youth Council?

Youth Councils facilitate youth participation and provide an opportunity for young people to be involved in the decision-making processes that affect them.

Youth Councils directly consult with young people, and are interested in their ideas and opinions. Youth Councils advise and recommend.

Youth Councils look for areas of improvement, future growth and development in the organisation. They seek and promote best practice. Youth Councils provide an opportunity for young people to be involved in the governance of their organisation.

Youth Councils are relevant to young people. Youth Councils advocate for young people and lobby and drive change in St John. Youth Councils develop and promote well-rounded and experienced young leaders for the benefit of St John and the wider community.

Young people have something to contribute TODAY, and are ready to be leaders in the organisation TODAY.
