St John Ambulance
values all of our youth members. Being one of the
leading youth
groups, we believe that every
member should have a say in how the organisation
operates.
Here in Cornwall we believe that our members are best placed to
help improve our county. To help youth members in the county
we have a youth charter which sets out rights and
responsibilities as young people in the organisation.
Cornwall has an active youth assembly which is open to all members
aged 25 and under.
Youth voice
To assist the youth members
having a voice in the county, we have a dedicated
youth assembly mentor who looks after the youth
members and helps get their points of view across to the
organisation. The mentor also helps arrange events for the
youth members such as proms and outings. Besides the mentor
the youth members have local forums that they can
express their own views for others to see and comment on.
Within St John Ambulance we
believe in youth participation and we value this
at whatever level, whether you get involved in your local unit or
at a county level. We are here to help the community, but
most of all we want our members to have a good time. Contact us for details of local units.
