Youth Council

Training and support for Youth Councillors is provided by the Youth, Family and Community Learning Service and the Universal Connections Youth Participation Network.

The Youth Council aims to:

• work in partnership with South Lanarkshire Council to promote the voice of young people
• work in partnership with other organisations such as local colleges, transport managers and the police to influence their youth policies
• consult with a wide range of youth groups/organisations such as Changing Places, youth forums, Pupil Councils and uniformed youth groups
• obtain their views on youth issues and improve the wider community perception of young people through the positive promotion of their achievements
