The UNA Youth Council represents, inputs into and oversees the activities of UNA Youth. 

Two positions on the Youth Council – President and Vice President – are elected annually.  Any member can stand for election and any member or supporter can vote.

Helping UNA-UK widen and strenghten this network of over 50 branches spread across the country is an exciting task and looks great on your cv. Both roles require a significant time commitment so do read the role description carefully before nominating yourself.

·         Organising and chairing regular Youth Council meetings.

·         Building relationships with external organisations by representing the Youth Council and                 UNA Youth at events.

·         Be the UNA Youth representative on the UNA-UK Board of Trustees (this will involve four to           five meetings in London over the course of the year)

 

Vice President:

·         Assisting the President in his/her duties.

·         Liaising with UNA-UK in the process of co-opting additional officers.

·         Working with UNA-UK on UNA Youth’s events, campaigns and conferences.
