Young Advisors are trained and employed consultants who guide local authorities, housing associations and other local partners about what it is like for a young person to live, work, learn and play in their neighbourhood:

• They will help organisations 'youth proof' their practices, policies, strategies and commissioning.
• They will help you understand how to attract and maintain the interests of young people.
• They will speak out for young people, making sure their thoughts and feelings are considered in decisions that affect them.
• They will work both locally and nationally to share good practice and learn from others.
• They will engage directly with other young people to get them involved in neighbourhood improvements.

Youth Advisors will undergo supported training with other young people to help become involved with local issues. Young people need to commit to commit four hours a week, receiving £8 an hour and attend two residential training weekends.
