The Junction Youth Advisors (JYAs) are a group of young people who get together every month to talk about the issues that affect the lives of young people in the community, and exploring how we can work together to make positive changes.
The JYAs volunteer and support The Junction to develop its services, whilst evolving their own own understanding of health and wellbeing issues, and promoting the work of the organisation.
Their previous projects include creating promotional material, awareness raising campaigns, supporting staff to host launch events and exhibitions, presentations at The Scottish Parliament, outreach to other organisation and local schools. Check out one of there previous projects “The Lockdown Lowdown” a short film the JYAs made during lockdown.
Meetings are on the first Thursday of each month 5.00pm – 6.30pm

We also cover JYA bus costs and provide snacks and refreshments at meetings.
