Bishops Green Youth Council is open to any young people aged 13 and over who want to make a difference in their community. 

Over the years, members of the Youth Council have enjoyed great success.  The first generation of young people, were instrumental in establishing the Internet Cafe and choosing the equipment. 

The current youth council members have benefited from two residential training courses and have since taken things to another level, 'taking over' the running of the Youth Club - running their own programme of activities within an agreed budget.

Two representatives from the Youth Council sit on the Youth Project's Management Group.

Each summer the Youth Council agree which activities and trips to plan in the school holidays.

Youth Councillors chose designs and equipment options for the Beech Road Open Space Project.

Members of the Youth Council linked up with young people in France who have also live in a community that is in the midst of regeneration work.  See The French Exchange Project.  When planning the week when when we hosted the French young people, Youth Councillors put together the programme of activities working with the given budget.

Our Youth Council meetings always include a chance for young people have their say about what concerns them, what they want to change and what they want to achieve as a group.
