Youth Leadership Roundtable: A model for youth participation

Young people must have a genuine voice and say in decision-making processes which endeavour to address the complex and interconnected issues, challenges, and concerns that affect young people in their everyday lives.

The Youth Leadership Roundtable (YLR) was an integral part of the South East Corridor Youth Partnership Project (YPP), as the ‘Youth Voice in Action’. The group was comprised of young leaders aged 16-25, who were paid, casual staff of the project. This documents presents the Youth Leadership Roundtable model, so that it can be shared, learned from, and replicated by others, where appropriate.
