Following an incredible year for our Youth Steering Group – one in which members took on greater sector leadership than ever before – we are excited to open applications for the next cohort!

What does the Youth Steering Group do?

• Work with members and other young people to reduce inequality in education, this includes campaigning and directly influencing government and decision makers.

• Provide leadership for youth engagement across the Alliance and influence our strategic decisions.

• Support our members and innovators to better serve young people and their communities.

• Champion youth social action in education and across society.

Where did the Youth Steering Group come from?

Over the summer of 2021, supported by The Pears #iwill Fund, we worked with twelve young people to co-develop our Youth Engagement Strategy. A key outcome of this work to ensure young people are equal partners, was to set up a Youth Steering Group. They provide leadership on youth engagement across the Fair Education Alliance and are involved in a range of different work from influencing policy to campaigns, place-based collaboration and organising the Youth Summit.
