On Saturday over 70 young people and workers gathered in York for our annual Youth Voice Social Action Welcome and Induction day.  Planned and facilitated by members of the YWU Youth Board, the day brought together young people from across the region, who all have an interest in making a positive difference to their communities.

Participants took part in a range of mini workshops, delivered by members of the regional groups, REMY, RYCA, Yorkshire SEND Alliance, LGBTQI+, Youth Combined Authorities and Authoring our own Stories, who each picked a theme from Make your Mark that they are working on, to share ideas for exploring the topics in the future – including education, youth work & identity, hate crime, employment, climate change and democracy.

A huge thank you to the young people and the local Youth Voice Workers who supported them, for all their enthusiasm and fun.   See you in June.
