We are Cornwall Youth Council

We are a group of young people age 11+ who live or go to school in Cornwall. We come together to share the views of children and young people so we can be heard by decision makers. 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. We will be relaunching recruitment in line with our elections in the Autumn so keep an eye out if you are interested in joining.

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!
