Grown Up? Transitions to Adulthood
Paid Opportunity: An invitation to join the Youth Insight Group (YIG) for the Nuffield Foundation’s Grown Up? Transitions to Adulthood programme
Hopkins Van Mil (HVM) and the Nuffield Foundation want to ensure that important decisions about what matters in society always consider the views and experiences of children and young people.
Together, they are creating a Youth Insight Group (YIG) to help shape and inform an important research and engagement project called Grown Up? Transitions to Adulthood. The project explores the experiences and attitudes of today’s young people (14-24 year olds) as they shift from adolescence to early adulthood.
We need your help: read on to express your interest in joining the YIG
As an active member of the YIG you would shape and inform the Grown Up? Transitions to Adulthood project by co-designing materials, information and plans to discuss key topics with children and young people.
