The Young Trustees Movement is changing boardrooms

Our Mission and values

MISSION

  • Double the number of trustees aged 30 and under on charity boards by 2024. While the spotlight is on the age factor, our movement is part of a wider call for diversity on boards.
  • Create a norm of Boards embarking on a journey of change and realising that this also benefits all board members.
  • Changing the image of what a trustee looks like, by shining a light on the impact made by young trustees.
  • Define what conditions allow for safe spaces where all young people can genuinely add their perspective.
  • Meaningfully empower organisations/existing initiatives working in this space.
  • To have an impact that serves all young people, we must have an intersectional movement. This is an ongoing process and we are keen to connect and get feedback – for more information please get in touch.

VALUES

  • Intersectional diversity of perspectives
  • Young people are safe & can make informed choices
  • Young people lead this movement
  • Collaboration
