We are a Youth led group of young people aged 16-25 that acts within UK Youth. We plan and deliver our own meetings and create and abide by our own rules of guidance.

UKYV is made up of 2 members from each of the 9 regions in the UK, 2 from Scotland, 2 from Northern Ireland, 2 from Wales and 1 from the Channel islands. We have 4/5 meetings per year all over the country, which lead up to the UKYV national conference in the summer of each year delivered by young people – for young people!

We currently have some gaps in our panel so if you are aged between 16 – 25 and are interested in becoming a member please get in touch with our e-Participation Officer – Claire Dever – by emailing claire.d@ukyouth.org saying why you would like to join and what you could bring to the group!

UKYV’s Annual Youth Led Conference, which is held over a weekend and is exclusively for young people, is an opportunity for young people throughout the UK to come together, meet new people and discuss the issues relevant to their lives and futures. The Annual Conference is planned, developed, hosted and attended by young people from all walks of life. Each year workshops are run promoting participation and getting the voices of young people heard. Each year the participants vote on the top four issues that young people face, these issues are known as Resolutions and are worked on throughout the following year by Voice members; Voice members also formulate workshops based on these Resolutions for the next Conference. The Annual Conference gives a platform to young people to express their views and formulate their opinions it also enables participants to make changes to their lives and communities.
