Calling organisations and individuals who support our work and want to see us succeed!
We need your insights, to help us decide on our movement goals in the coming years.
Since 2019 we’ve been working across the charity sector to challenge the norm of governance and champion the role of young people in decision-making spaces. With your help and collaboration, we’ve become a small but mighty movement creating ripples across the sector.
Now in 2024, we want to reflect on where we’ve been, what our learning is and where we want to go. This is where you come in. We’re inviting you, our allies, partners and collaborators to join us for an interactive conversation where you’ll have a chance to contribute to the Young Trustees Movement strategy in the coming years.
The conversation will be facilitated by young people and you’ll have an opportunity to connect with like-minded peers.
Who can join? Anyone!
What do I need to prepare? Nothing. All we ask is for you to show up and be open to contributing in whatever way feels good for you. That could be verbally, writing in the chat, just listening.
Check out our blog for more information on our strategic review process.
