We will provide you with a genuine opportunity to influence and shape services, and enable you to get involved in the decision making process.

You will be offered the chance to have a say in the running of your own youth provision, as well as involvement in area based and specialist forums.

You will also be encouraged to stand for election to the Shadow Youth Cabinet, if you wish to represent the views of young people in Sandwell’s democratic processes.

You will be offered the opportunity to give back some of your skills to your youth provision, or the wider community, by volunteering to take on additional responsibilities. This can lead to you becoming a registered volunteer for Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council, and could open a wide range of placement opportunities.

We will celebrate your achievements, through individual certificates and awards at your youth provision, to recognising your star qualities at an annual awards event.
