Your Voice, Your Future, Your Community.

Young Leaders will meet twice per month for structured group discussions, planning, and reflection sessions. Additional time may be required for short video calls when working on ongoing projects. This helps ensure every voice is heard and each member has a meaningful role.

Members will gain real leadership experience by helping shape programmes, supporting delivery, and contributing to decision-making. Throughout the year, Young Leaders will also work towards certificates and recognised awards that help build their skills and future opportunities.

Young Leaders will have access to special educational trips, workshops, and learning experiences that build confidence, teamwork, and awareness. Incentives and rewards will be offered throughout the programme to celebrate commitment, growth, and positive contributions.

Young Leaders are treated as equals within the organisation, working alongside staff and volunteers to influence real change. Every member will be provided with a team uniform, promoting pride, equality, and a shared identity within the leadership group.

To ensure every young person receives the right support and their voice is genuinely heard, the programme offers limited spaces. This allows for meaningful involvement, personalised support, and a safe environment where ideas can grow. Recruitment takes place annually.

Young Leaders will help design, develop, and improve community projects that support children, families, and local areas across Oldham. By contributing their ideas, they play a direct role in creating activities that are inclusive, inspiring, and led by youth voice.
