Youth Voice Executive Committee
“Youth Voice is a forum for young people, run by young people, to help the community.”
“When we tell professionals our ideas, they take action.”
“Sharing your voice is important because it changes services to make things better for young people.”
“I joined to add to my CV but stayed for the supportive community of young people.”
About the Youth Voice Executive Committee
The Youth Voice Executive Committee is a space for young people aged 11-19, and up to 25 if they have a Special Educational Need or Disability, to speak about issues that are important for young people. Our meetings and activities give young people the opportunity to bring attention to topics that matter to young people in Bucks.
If you are interested in joining, please email your name, age, and a little bit about yourself to YouthVoiceBucks@buckinghamshire.gov.uk, or call, text or WhatsApp Lucy on 07767 433826. We will then ask you to complete our Youth Voice Bucks registration form.
Our projects
In our meetings, we discuss lots of different topics, meet guests, and respond to consultations by sharing our opinions.
We also run a Winter and a Summer social each year to bond as a team and celebrate our work.
Bucks Youth Summit
The biggest project that the Youth Voice Executive Committee runs is the Bucks Youth Summit.
Extra opportunities
Members of the Youth Voice Executive Committee are also invited to take part in exciting youth voice projects as they arise. You can see some examples below.
