London Youth Involvement Project up and running

After a short pause, the LYIP is up and running again. We're really excited about 2011 and the chance for the project to make a real difference to drug and alcohol prevention in London.

We are now recruiting a team of Youth Advisors to share their views about why young people use drugs and alcohol and what might help them to make positive choices. They will:
  • work together to think about what politicians and officials are getting right and what they are getting wrong;
  • gather the opinions of other young people across London to find out what they think;
  • hold events to share their thoughts, and the thoughts of other young people, with politicians and other important decision-makers;
  • develop lots of skills and gain accreditation.

This is a great opportunity to get your voice heard. If you are 12-15 and living in any of the London boroughs, we'd love to hear from you. Get in touch with Nicola at Mentor UK. Phone: 020 7739 8494/07908 989377 or Email: nicola.strivens@mentoruk.org
