As the AU-EU Youth Voices Lab – Power of the Collective progresses from its inception period to its full implementation, more and more opportunities are unlocked! We are fully committed to supporting young people’s voices and impacting their local communities. 

One way we ensure Youth Voices are listened to is through the Youth Advisory Board, a fundamental mechanism of the programme. 

What is the Youth Advisory Board? 

The Youth Advisory Board is a group of young people from the action’s intervention countries whose role is to assess the programme’s impact on local communities and advise on the Consortium’s next steps. Our goal is to give power to young people from marginalized and vulnerable communities, young people who often experience barriers to accessing power and resources. The selected members of this board will keep their positions until the end of the programme in February 2028.
