Prince's Trust consult Youth Council on Youth Leadership

The Youth Council and I talked to the Prince's Trust about youth leadership today, what it actually means, and how to get more young people taking leading roles in their local community. We looked at the skills and qualities of elected leaders like Barack Obama, and how they connect with people and understand what they need to make their lives better.

The Youth Council's views were fed back to the National Body for Youth Leadership (now known as The Youth of Today) an organisation set up to offer skills, opportunities and networks to help young representatives become leaders of change.
