Young Advisors Lead Positive Activities

Walsall Young Advisors were approached to lead and run two 3 week sessions at a local Youth club (Mossley Youth Club). The first 3 sessions were for 11-14 year olds and the 2nd sessions being for 8-11 year olds. The sessions consisted of Arts and Crafts where they designed t-shirts, made cards and even created their own canvasses. They were also be involved in sporting activities such as rounders, football dance and cheerleading and then on the third week an organisation called 'Open Mind' came in and lead the final sessions on both programmes! At the end of both the sessions all the young people that attended the scheme will received a certificate in recognition of there attendance and participation in the activities throughout the programme.

This is just one way to show how Young Advisors can respond to the needs of their peers and younger people, design programmes from scratch, and be responsible for delivering them with colleagues.
