DUDLEY YOUTH COUNCIL

The mission is to establish a united youth voice in the Dudley area, motivating and empowering young people to better the local and broader community through positive action.

Early this summer we got together, as a group of youth living in the Dudley area, in an effort to create a youth council that would reflect our thoughts and ideas. We wanted to see how we could work together to address and solve certain issues in the community.
