Young People
Young minds, fresh perspectives, better business decisions
A space to be heard, create change and grow
At Participation People, we’ve built the YC Collective — a growing community of young people, aged 5-25, who are using their voices, experiences and ideas to influence real decisions and create positive change.
From creative workshops to leadership opportunities, there are lots of ways to get involved, build confidence, meet new people and develop skills — whatever your experience level.
Scroll down to learn more about the opportunities waiting for you and how your voice can make real change 🎉
Young Contributors
Young Contributors are at the heart of what we do.
If you’re aged 5–25, this is your chance to share your ideas, experiences and opinions to help shape real projects.
You might join workshops, get creative, or take part in research — all while building confidence, learning new skills and meeting new people.
It’s flexible, fun, and a great way to start making a difference.
Young Consultants
Young Consultants are a smaller group of young people (aged 15–25) who take things a step further.
In this role, you’ll help run sessions, work with professionals and play a bigger part in shaping projects.
It’s a paid opportunity where you can grow your skills, build experience and take on more responsibility — all while creating real change for other young people.
