The Council is on the lookout for two dedicated Youth Representatives who will play a vital role in bringing the voices and perspectives of young people to the forefront of council discussions and decision-making processes.

This initiative aims to empower young people aged between 15 and 25 to actively participate in shaping the future of their community.

Responsibilities include:

· Gathering and relaying ideas and views from young people in the town

· Promoting engagement among young people in Town Council activities and events

· Active participation in meetings, discussions, and debates

· Building connections with youth groups and organisations to facilitate communication with the

  Town Council

· Learning about the workings of the Town Council and its role in local governance

· Promoting the work of the Newtown and Llanllwchaiarn Town Council to young people

Becoming a “Youth Rep” is not only an opportunity to contribute to the community but also a chance to learn about local democracy and governance, which can greatly enhance your CV.
