About Us
The Youth Advisory Board (YAB) has been established to act as the voice of the regions young people for the North East 14 - 19 Commission.
The YAB consists of a number of young people, which are from different parts of the North East, who are enthusiastic and want to have a say about issues that affect them! Our aim is to develop young person led projects that highlight young people's opinions and concerns about education, employment, training and information, advice and guidance.
The Youth Advisory Board (YAB) are aged between 14 to 19 years of age, all coming from different areas and backgrounds of the North East of England.
The North East 14-19 Commission have commissioned Just 4 Youth and the North East Regional Youth Work Unit to develop the Youth Advisory Board to work alongside the 14-19 Commission to address educational issues in the region.
The YAB meet once a month to discuss current educational issues in order to develop projects which are aimed at getting young people's voices and opinions heard.
Through the YAB, young people from across the North East have a unique opportunity to inform decision makers in the region of their experiences.
