At Young Somerset we believe in putting young people first, and it’s vital that we co-design services for young people, with young people. This is an opportunity for young people to be heard, have a say in how Young Somerset's services are designed and get involved with creatively supporting other young people in Somerset.

We're looking for any young people aged 13-20 in Somerset, who are passionate and want to make a difference! No experience necessary just a willingness to get involved!

  • Represent and support Somerset's young people
  • Get involved with social media and content creation to help other young people in Somerset
  • Attend fortnightly meetings to share your ideas
  • Volunteer at Young Somerset events

What's in it for you?
