Tara
Harlow Youth Councillor

Elected 2005 - 2007
Elected 2007 - 2009

 

Manifesto Statements

As an existing Youth Councillor I would like to carry on my work with the Youth Council, as I have achieved a lot and would like to achieve more.

 

Sub Group and Responsibilities

Leisure, Town Park and Active Harlow Representative - Responsibility to attend all relevant meetings and consultations, to receive all information and to disseminate information to subgroup and full youth council meetings.

 

Achievements

As a volunteer I have sat in meetings, chaired and taken minutes.  I have achieved a 2020 award, a Jack Petchey award and a Young Citizen’s Award.  I have helped to create a training pack in participation and had lots of other training.

v     Helping with a permanent skate park

v     Helping consulting with kick walls

v     Raised money for a MiPod

 

This has contributed to the work of my project and community by helping young people have a voice and by helping other youth people and adults train in training they wouldn’t have had before.  I have got lots of young people to do new things.

 

This relates to my personal/career plans as by having presentation and confidence and speaking training, this would help with any job and by volunteering it will look good on my CV.  I like helping with young people.  I enjoy putting in new things – other people’s happiness is my happiness. :)
