Young Scot Hive (#YSHive) is looking for 20 young people from across Scotland aged 16-24 to volunteer on the Young Person’s Guarantee Youth Leadership Panel alongside existing panel members. This Panel will be a diverse group that will be involved in conversations, exploration and co-design of the Young Person’s Guarantee.
The Panel will collaborate with the Scottish Government, Developing the Young Workforce, Skills Development Scotland, and other organisations to explore the governance (decision-making and deciding how things are delivered) for the Young Person’s Guarantee, ensuring that young people continue to be involved and meeting the needs of Scotland’s young people.
Project information
🎂 16-24 years old
📅 This project will run between July 2022 – March 2023.
🗺️ We are looking for volunteers from all over Scotland
Below is the initial timeline:
Recruitment selection day and induction Meeting – July/August 2022
Panel meeting every 4-6 weeks - August 2022 – March 2023
Additional meetings with the Scottish Government, Ministers, Employers and Partners
About the project
The Young Person’s Guarantee says: “We will guarantee to every young person aged between 16 and 24 in Scotland the opportunity, based on their own personal circumstances and ambitions, of going to university or college, an apprenticeship programme, training, fair employment including work experience, or participating in a formal volunteering programme. Find out more about the progress of the Young Person’s Guarantee here.
What you'll do as part of the Young Person's Guarantee
This project will take place through hybrid work of in-person and online meetings. We understand getting online can be difficult, so please still apply if you have limited access as we can support you with alternative arrangements.
We will work together to create a supportive and inclusive team, with opportunities to learn a range of skills, meet new people from across Scotland, take part in training, and develop confidence in yourself.
Supported by Young Scot staff, volunteers will meet every 4 – 6 weeks (in-person and online) and work on activities to review progress, provide insight and ideas, and deliver recommendations to Scottish Government about the development and implementation of the Young People’s Guarantee. Volunteers on the Panel will also be available to respond to emerging topics and issues as the programme progresses. Panel members will also receive numeration equivalent to Living Wage for the time participating on Young Person’s Guarantee governance activity.
As a #YSHive volunteer you will sometimes be invited to join extra workshops and activities with Young Scot on different topics, but these are optional.
No special knowledge, experience or skills are necessary to take part. We are happy to make reasonable adjustments to enable all young people to take part, and there will be an opportunity when you apply to tell us about any support or adjustments you need to contribute fully.
We are particularly interested to collaborate with young people who are facing barriers due to their personal circumstances including young people from an ethnic minority background, young people who identify as having a disability, young carers, care-experienced young people, young people who live in low-income households and young people who live rural communities.

About the Young Scot DEI strategy:
Young Scot continue to be fully committed to achieving diversity, equity and inclusion throughout their organisation. They’re also working harder to become an explicitly anti-racist organisation. They this by taking a close look at their operations and identifying what it is that is contributing to structural discrimination.
The DEI strategic goals are to:
• Create an inclusive working culture, recognising the value of diversity and maintaining a culture where everyone feels valued and respected
• Ensure all services for young people are accessible to all young people, recognising the intersectional diversity of their needs
• Learn from and share best practices in the third sector, demonstrating work to eliminate discrimination, recognise and promote equality and diversity, address inequity and be inclusive in everything
The Young Scot DEI Panel will be a diverse group of young people, co-chaired by two Young Scot Board members. As a panel, you will meet quarterly to ensure that the voices of seldom heard young people lead and support their journey to deliver on their vision. You will:
• Review our DEI Strategy and set out our DEI priorities
• Give expertise and guidance on how we can achieve diversity, equity and inclusion
• Showcase and highlight the needs of seldom heard groups of young people
• Track progress and hold us to account
You will be supported to develop a deeper understanding of DEI and engage other young people from a variety of backgrounds. You don’t need any experience to apply, but it would be great if you had an interest in promoting diversity, equity and inclusion and making the voices of all young people heard.
Young Scot are keen to receive applications from those who are passionate about representing a variety of groups, including but not limited to:
• LGBTQI+
• Black, Asian or Ethnic Minority
• Young Carer
• Gypsy/Traveller
• Care Experience
• Disability
