The West Yorkshire Youth Commission is a peer-led project that enables young people to get involved and have their say about urgent issues that affect their lives and help build a safer community.

The West Yorkshire Violence Reduction Unit (VRU) has partnered with Leaders Unlocked to help shape approaches to youth-led initiatives particularly in response to violent crime & exploitation.

They are looking for participants aged 14-25 years. The role is open to anyone in this age group living in West Yorkshire.

In total, they are seeking to recruit up to 20/25 young people.

They are looking for people who will be:

  • Good team players.
  • Committed to the project.
  • Willing to attend Youth Commission sessions.

The first 2 sessions will take place on a Saturday. Other smaller meetings will generally be on weekdays (early evenings).

They are also very keen to ensure that the Youth Commission is made up of a diverse group of young people who broadly reflect the make-up of the local population, including those who may have interest in the police and justice system.
