brought our own experiences together. 'Family' sums up the experience perfectly

Youth Board Application Form 2024

We are inviting 14–25-year-olds who have been members of the National Saturday Club for at least one year to join the new Youth Board. Maybe you attended a National Saturday Club some years ago, and it made a difference to your life or maybe you’ve just finished your first year – we’d love you to apply! 

The Youth Board will bring together young people from all backgrounds across the country. We are seeking those who’d like to influence the future of the National Saturday Club as we grow, to the benefit of all of the young people who take part.

It is important that the Youth Board reflects the diversity of the National Saturday Club membership and we’d particularly encourage applications from underrepresented backgrounds.  

We hope to receive applications from individuals interested in joining the Youth Board for minimum-1 year and maximum-2 years. You will be expected to attend 4 meetings per year.

Attendance at meetings is paid with all expenses covered.
