P4YE employ 4 Youth Voice Leaders

P4YE is committed to ensuring that young people have a meaningful voice in shaping the services and decisions that affect their lives. To support this mission, P4YE has employed four Youth Voice Leaders, giving them the opportunity to develop new skills, gain valuable experience, and represent their peers' views. As part of their journey, the Youth Voice Leaders completed onboarding and safeguarding training to prepare them for their roles and ensure they can contribute safely, confidently and effectively.

The P4YE Youth Voice Project has created an exciting opportunity for four young people — Ky’on, Joy, AJ and David — to take their first steps into the world of work. All aged 18 and under, they have been employed as Youth Voice Leaders, gaining valuable work experience while developing the skills, confidence and knowledge needed for their future careers.

As part of their journey, the young people completed onboarding and safeguarding training to help them understand their responsibilities, workplace expectations and the importance of keeping themselves and others safe. This training provides a strong foundation for their roles and prepares them to contribute positively to the project.

Through the Youth Voice Project, Ky’on, Joy, AJ and David will have the opportunity to share their perspectives, represent the views of other young people and help influence decisions about services that affect their lives. Their involvement highlights the importance of creating meaningful employment opportunities for young people, supporting their personal and professional development, and ensuring their voices are heard.

This is more than just a job; it is an opportunity to build confidence, gain practical experience and develop transferable skills that will support them as they continue their journey into employment and adulthood.

Ky’on, Joy, AJ and David’s journey through the P4YE Youth Voice Project highlights the importance of creating opportunities for young people to gain work experience, build confidence and develop new skills. P4YE looks forward to supporting their growth and amplifying young people’s voices.Add a conclusion or the next steps.
