The St. Albans Youth Council was established in 2002 after months of hard work by the steering group. Every secondary school, youth club and any other organisations are entitled to have up to three members on the Youth Council. Members can be aged from 11 to 19.
We have run various events that you may have heard of namely the Summer Sounds Youth music event. Our first gig was in Rothamsted Park in Harpenden and this year the event was held in Clarence Park in St Albans and was a huge success with over 1000 young people attending. Check out the photos.
We also delivered our pilot Mi-pod consultation event where we interviewed over 130 young people to get their views about important issues to them. We then produced the results into a digital format. We presented all the feedback to Councillors and hope that the views of local young people will now be part of the basis for future planned activities by the Distric Council for young people. We will be holding some more Mi-pod events in the coming months so check out Upcoming Events for details of times and places. We want to hear from you so you can have your say!!
If you want to get involved in organising these events with us, become a member! All you need to do is pester your school to run elections or contact us directly and be co-opted onto the Youth Council. You can e-mail us.
