DECC Youth Advisory Panel is recruiting!
You by now will hopefully know about the DECC Youth Advisory Panel – if not, have a look at the website and the lovely blog to get up to speed with all the activities and work the Panel has done over the past year.
Think2050 was instrumental in helping to establish the Panel and Kirsty Schneeberger was the coordinator for 2010.
Since the Pilot phase last year, the Panel is now in full swing and recruiting for some new Members! This is your chance to be a part of something very exciting and speak up on behalf of your generation.
If you are already involved with a youth organisation or network, then this is the perfect opportunity for you to share the thoughts of your membership and act as a direct channel to government policy. If you are an individual who is keen to learn more about how government policy is decided and you think you have what it takes to work with other young people to share your opinions and ideas as a young person, then we want to hear form you too!

The Panel has been made up of approximately 16 members, with support from a handful of others, and about 2/3 of the original pilot members are staying on for another year. There are therefore about 5 or so places to be filled in this new recruitment phase.
There is an application form for you to fill in online that offers you the chance to let your colours SHINE and show us why you should be on the Panel..
The deadline for applications is Friday 25th March.
If you have any trouble filling out the form or have any more questions, email applications@think2050.org
All the best with the application!
