Liverpool City Region Youth Advisory Board (YAB)

Influence Policy and Programmes

• Members have a direct opportunity to shape the Youth Guarantee Trailblazer (YGT) by sharing lived experiences and ideas.
• Their feedback helps inform decisions made by the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority.

Low Commitment, High Impact

• Meetings are short (30 minutes), held every 2 months, and take place within working hours (Mon–Fri, 9am–5pm).
• This makes it easy to participate without disrupting other responsibilities.

Platform for Underrepresented Voices

• Are not in education, employment, or training (NEET)

• Are SEND or neurodiverse

It’s a safe space to speak up and be heard.
