Cornwall Youth Council is made up of 6 roles, elected members, Members of Youth Parliament, community seats, associate members, peer mentors and the comms team. To learn more about the different roles or to get involved click here.

Don't worry if you missed the chance to be an elected member, there are lots of opportunities for you to get involved with the Youth Council! We are still recruiting for Community seats! Find all the information aboutcommunities seats here!
We have launched our manifesto!
Our manifesto is a document that outlines what our goals are as Cornwall Youth Council.
Our manifesto brings together thousands of youth voices from across Cornwall! We captured your views in our elections, Make Your Mark voting and the Right On survey. As elected members, associate members, community seats, peer mentors and comms team we worked to bring all of these ideas together into workable goals. Our overall aim is to create opportunities for young people that are accessible, inclusive and equal.
We would like to encourage everyone to read our manifesto whether you are a young person that voted, a young person that would like to get involved in the Youth Council or an adult that could support out goals. Read our manifesto!If you want to learn more or to get involved click here.
