Join our Youth Board

Red-tailed bumblebee on bird's foot trefoil - Jon Hawkins

Are you aged between 11-24? Do you live in Suffolk and love your local wildlife? Do you care about the environment and want to help protect it?

We want you to join our Youth Board!

At Suffolk Widlife Trust, we established our Youth Board in 2021 because we know youth voices need to be part of conversations about how we protect nature. If we want to make sure our wildlife is protected for years to come and we need young people’s thoughts, knowledge, and opinions.

Our Youth Board is the voice of Suffolk’s young people. We empower our members to take action for nature, get involved with decision making, and campaign for environmental issues. The Youth Board meets once a month online and has lots of opportunities to get involved with the Trust's work across the county. Read through our What We Do webpages and our News feed to find out more about our work.

‘In my area of Suffolk, the destruction of habitats and loss of endangered species continue to increase. However, the nature crisis does not only threaten one region of the UK, but the entire country. This is why I’m proud to represent the voices of everyone concerned about the future of our natural environment and hope the government will take action now to recover biodiversity, before it becomes too late.’
