Do you want to: 

• Make new friends. 

• Try new activities. 

• Share your ideas. 

• Build your confidence. 

Ubuntu Youth Voice Network could be for you. 

At Ubuntu, we amplify the voices of young people through a rights‑based approach, this means making sure you are treated fairly, have a voice, and get your rights respected in any service or activity that involves you. 

At Ubuntu Youth Voice Network you can take part in: 

• Group sessions and activities 

• Creative projects 

• Workshops 

• Trips and events 

• Discussions about things that matter to you 

This is a space where your ideas and experiences matter. 

If you're 18 or over, you can become a Young Leader and help support other young people while building your leadership skills. 

At the network everything we do is based on these values: 

1. Confidence building: We’ll help you grow your skills and discover your strengths. 
2. Challenging: We’ll support you to speak up, be brave, and question the world around you. 
3. Connection: We want you to build friendships and find your community. 
4. Collaboration: led by you, shaping decisions together 
5. Change making: We’ll stand by you and take action and shape a better future. 

The Ubuntu Youth Voice Network is more than a programme - it’s a movement. It’s a space where your experiences matter, your ideas drive change, and your voice helps shape a better, fairer future for all young people seeking sanctuary. 

If you’re a young person (or helping a young person) who is looking for a space to connect, be heard and get involved, we’d love to hear from you.
