We are recruiting

We are looking to recruit up to 10 new youth board members aged between 16-24 years old from anywhere in the UK. 

We are looking for Youth Board members who are passionate about youth development, committed to promoting the values of the YST, and eager to contribute their ideas and perspectives. Diversity, excellent communication skills, and the ability to engage with stakeholders are also valued.

We seek individuals with a curiosity for learning and growth, combined with grit and determination to drive change. They should have the ability to attend YST events, be flexible with their time, and embrace the mission of the YST.
