Join us in connecting Brighton & Hove’s young people to their power, their purpose and their city.
We will adopt an innovative ‘Human Learning Systems’ approach to help young people lead on the creation and design of their own services.
We will recruit young people from Connect Coaching and Connect Projects, as well as those living in areas of the city facing additional challenges.
