As part of our ambition to empower young people, one of four key themes in our Beautiful Wales strategy for 2022-2030, we realised we needed to provide a platform for 16–25-year-olds to voice their opinions on environmental issues, challenge our assumptions and put forward fresh ideas.
The Youth Board operate under a mission statement defined by its members: “Empowering young leaders to build a more beautiful Wales through bold action and diverse voices.”
The Youth Board meet every three months (sometimes online, sometimes in person). These meetings are a safe space where everyone’s contribution is valued equally.
Together, members identify the issues they want to tackle, develop and monitor their own action plan.
Members are encouraged to be honest about how they think Keep Wales Tidy should be looking after the environment.
The group works closely with our Board of Trustees and is supported by a member of Keep Wales staff. This staff member is on hand to help with all the routine stuff, including organising meetings and writing up notes.
Thank you to everyone who showed interest in joining the Youth Board. Applications are now closed.
