What was the recruitment process for the new Youth Advisory Board, v20?
Ian Russell’s original Youth Advisory Board designed and managed an open recruitment campaign, with the support of youth engagement charity, Kikass. Young people designed and placed advertisements in a range of national and youth press including The Guardian, NME, Eastern Eye and ‘Don’t Panic.’ The campaign was supported by a dedicated microsite – www.russellmission.com and received over 160 applications from young people interested in joining the Youth Advisory Board. Interviews were held in Leeds and London, with young people involved in running interview panels and selecting the final 20 successful applicants.
