That’s why we have relaunched the Youth Policy Development Group (YPDG), to provide feedback and recommendations to politicians at all levels of government, ensuring that young people’s views are considered in policy development and decision making.

Joining a diverse team, you will devise extensive policy briefs on specific topic areas, and present these directly to government departments and elected officials. You will also be provided with online training sessions focused on enhancing your pre-existing political and media literacy knowledge.

Throughout the process, you will be guided and upskilled in regular training sessions organised by Shout Out UK. All the while, YPDG members will receive 1-to-1 support from Shout Out UK team members, providing you with comprehensive feedback on your participation in roundtable discussions, in-person events and training sessions.

Please complete this short application form by Sunday 20th July. Please note that this programme is only available to those who currently reside in the UK.

If you have any questions about the application or the YPDG programme as a whole, please email [email protected].

Thanks in advance, and we look forward to receiving your application!
