Young People Give Their Views to Riots Panel

This initiative highlights the significance of youth volunteering and volunteering for young people to create positive societal change.

He emphasized the importance of platforms that enable young voices to be heard and influence change. His experience underscores the impact of resilience & staying positive amid challenges, a crucial skill in youth development.
