\nAs part of an evolving approach to youth engagement, RYA<\/a> Scotland has launched a new initiative, RYA<\/a> Scotland Youth Voices, to help amplify perspectives and empower young people within the Scottish sailing and boating community.<\/strong> \n<\/p>\n


\nAimed at individuals aged 14 to 25* with a passion for getting afloat, Youth Voices will give young people the chance to come together with likeminded peers, work on a range of exciting projects, and ultimately influence RYA<\/a> Scotland decision makers. \n<\/p>\n


\nThe Youth Voices group will meet roughly six times a year, with a mixture of online calls and additional in person collaboration opportunities. \n<\/p>\n


\nParticipants will get the chance to input and shape a variety of RYA<\/a> Scotland endeavours and identify a range of new projects for the group to get stuck into, working closely with RYA<\/a> Scotland’s Under 25 Director Jill Reid. \n<\/p>\n


\nThe RYA<\/a> Scotland team are looking to bring together up to ten young people to kickstart the first 2 years of this exciting new Youth Voices group, and are encouraging young people to get involved no matter what their sailing background looks like. \n<\/p>\n


\nWhether you’re a competitive sailor, an instructor, a club volunteer or simply someone who loves spending time on the water – RYA<\/a> Scotland want to hear from you. \n<\/p>\n


\nWith Youth Voices set to operate on a two-year cycle, there will be plenty opportunity for personal skill development, from leadership to public speaking, teamworking and project planning – Youth Voices will be a definite CV enhancer. \n<\/p>\n


\nIf you, or someone you know, would be a good fit for this opportunity either fill out or share the note of interest form below for a chance to get involved. To be considered for the first Youth Voices intake, get in touch before the end of July. \n<\/p>\n


\nSubmit a note of interest: www.cognitoforms.com\/RYA2\/RYAScotlandYouthVoicesInitiative<\/a> \n<\/p>\n


\n*Please note, 23 is the upper age cut off at time of joining, to allow a full two-year term within the 14-25 age bracket.
