The Young Women’s Advisory Panel is a group of 30 women aged 18 to 30 from across England and Wales. The panel gives power to young women. They are at the center of Young Women’s Trust: leading, designing and participating.
The panel join events, training and they connect at a residential weekend twice a year.
Each young woman can be a member of the panel for 2 years, giving them a chance to form lasting friendships with the group.
They guide the work that Young Women’s Trust does by taking part in discussions, interviewing new staff, talking to the media and writing for our blog.
The panel welcomes women with experience of living on low or no pay or those who are not in full time education. This could mean being unemployed, in low paid work or insecure work.
Women on the panel might also be young mums, having caring responsibilities, not have many qualifications, be a care leaver, disabled or experiencing mental health issues. They might have experienced other barriers to work, for example sexual harassment, substance abuse, violence or have experience of the criminal justice system.
The panel members are offered different opportunities each month and they can choose which ones they get involved in.
Opportunities include
On occasion, panel members can receive payments and/or thank you vouchers to high street stores for getting involved.
Panel members get a reference and a certificate from Young Women’s Trust.
To keep everyone safe, all our events are online at the moment. We can provide panel members with technology and internet access to take part online if needed.
When we can meet in person again we pay for travel, accommodation, meals and childcare for the activities panel members want to take part in.
You can chat to Eleanor from our Participation team about the panel.
