To help your voice be heard there are different groups who want your help to run projects, plan events, and hear your opinion.
Salford currently has a series of different youth roles including Young Mayor and Member of Youth Parliament. We also have representatives on Greater Manchester and North West of England youth forums.

Salford Youth Council is a youth voice group for anyone aged 11-21 who lives, educated or works in Salford.
We meet on a weekly basis, to plan events, work on campaigns, and promote positive stories of young people in Salford.
We are the home of the Young Mayor and Member of Youth Parliament for Salford.
