What is a Youth Council
A youth council is a democratic organisation created, run and developed by young people for young people. They exist to represent the views of young people at a local level, giving young people the opportunity to have a voice, discuss relevant issues, engage with decision-makers and contribute to improving the lives of other young people within their communities.
Nobody knows about the issues affecting young people better than young people themselves. Youth councils can act as a positive way of integrating the views of young people into the local community
