NCVYS is very pleased to announce that nominations for the 2008 Young Partners Award are now being accepted.

The Young Partners Award is a celebration of young people's involvement in decision-making within voluntary youth organisations and projects. It provides an opportunity for
organisations and projects in the voluntary youth sector to demonstrate what they have achieved, share ideas and inspire other organisations to share power with young people.
What makes the Young Partners Award different is the recognition that young people are the experts in deciding which factors are critical to their engagement in decision-making.

“The young partners award is a scheme that values young people’s opinions and contributions to their youth organisations. We achieve this by visiting, presenting, short listing and rewarding them. The outcome of this is allowing young people to have a voice and express their opinions to a wide range of people.” Linda, Lillith, Katie, and Laura age 13, YPA planning group.

Best wishes
Steven & the YPA planning team
