What is the Youth Cabinet?

So what exactly does the Youth Cabinet do?

We campaign for things that you think are important, by going to the people who make the decisions and telling them what young people want. We talk to lots of different people, from the police, to bus companies and everyone in between.

From 2011 to 2013 we will be working on five main campaigns, which were chosen by you. Our campaigns are:

  • Tackling and preventing bullying
  • Lowering education and tuition fees
  • Better access and affordability of public transport
  • Tackling youth unemployment
  • More advisers for GCSE and career options

We will be working on these issues over the next two years.
