Applications are once again open to join Co-operatives UK’s Youth Advisory Group (YAG) – young people aged 16-30 are invited to apply.
Established in 2024, the YAG brings together 16-30-year-olds from across the co-operative landscape to provide strategic input into Co-operatives UK’s work – and to collaborate on independent projects aimed at increasing engagement among young people across the movement and society in general.
It was launched at Co-operatives UK’s National Youth Summit in 2024 to support the organisation in implementing one of its strategy’s core themes: empowering young people.
Advise and enrich
Young people bring new perspectives to our work; provide valuable insight; generate new ideas; and challenge our way of thinking. The Youth Advisory Group will shape what we do to ensure it aligns with the needs of young people. Members of the Group will work alongside us to champion youth voice and advocate for meaningful participation within the co-operative movement.
Advocate and engage
Young people today are facing an uncertain future, where climate anxiety and job insecurity are major factors in their lives. While we know that the co-operative movement offers solutions to enable a fairer future, many young people are unaware. A key role of the Youth Advisory Group will be to advocate for the movement, spreading the word about co-ops and promoting the values of co-operation within youth networks outside the movement.
Please note the role is 2 hours per month paid at £15.48 per hour.
– Between 16 and 30 years of age at the time of candidacy. The Youth Advisory Group exists specifically to ensure young people have a direct voice in Co-operatives UK’s work and decision-making. As members are appointed to represent and advise us from the perspective of young people, being aged 16-30 is an occupational requirement of the role.
– Interested in co-operative values and principles or actively participating in/with a co-operative.
– Passionate about the need to support and advocate for young people by providing them with alternate solutions.
– Have a good understanding of the issues or challenges a young person might face
– Able to work within a team to achieve a shared positive outcome
Willing to take on the responsibility of being a committed member of the Youth Advisory Group
– Willing to represent Co-operatives UK at internal/external events
– Attend bi-weekly Youth Advisory Group meetings online – approximately 1 hour; and one other in-person meet-up over the course of a year.
– Actively participate in and support the Youth Advisory Group: its purpose; objectives; work; and activities including the National Youth Summit.
– Representing Co-operatives UK at flagship events, including Co-op Congress and the National Youth Summit.
