Employing Young People In Your Organisation

This short guide has been designed to support youth organisations looking to provide paid opportunities for young people (aged 15-18).

In this guide you can find practical advice on processes for recruitment and supporting young people as employees, unique considerations and challenges, and case studies of our impact.

To develop this guide we have drawn on our experience of employing young people as young leaders, peer researchers and peer mentors. It also includes direct input from young people and other local community organisations working with young people in Lambeth, particularly drawing on the experiences of our Building Young Brixton partners.
