The Northamptonshire Office of the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner is looking for new members for its Youth Commission, to better understand and meet the needs of local young people.
The Youth Commission was launched in Summer 2019 to ensure the voices of young people in Northamptonshire are heard and to support, challenge and inform the work of Northamptonshire Police and Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service. Since that time, 20 young people have been working on a project they named the ‘Big Conversation’, to seek the views of as many young people as possible about two key topics – violence and road safety. Results will be presented at an event in March.
This is a great opportunity for young people to get involved in, and express their views on, a range of issues affecting the communities where they live.
Members of the Youth Commission will gather the views of other young people, plan and get involved in events and present findings back to the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner and other partners in Northamptonshire.
The role is open to people aged between 14 and 19 years (up to 24 years for people with additional needs) who live in Northamptonshire.
The deadline for applications is Saturday 29 February 2020.
