This is the form to complete if you'd like to join the Cambs Youth Panel!

We will ask you questions about yourself, your thoughts and feelings to see if the Cambs Youth Panel is right for you. Don't worry there are no 'right' answers. This is not a test! We have lots of people from all walks of life who have completed their applications to join in very different ways. What we are trying to understand is who you are and why you want to become a panel member. It is best to be honest! If you want to join us because you heard that we do international travel and you think that would be exciting - there is nothing wrong with telling us that. You don't have to make it sound like you want to do it because you're trying to save the world or do something incredibly unselfish or virtuous.

At the same time, the Youth Panel is a group that you join because you want to give something. Youth Panel members get lots and lots of benefits from their membership (often unique to them and their needs and their interests) - but you only get out what you put in. When you become a Youth Panel member you accept a certain amount of responsibility, you support the panel and the other members too in lots of real and very practical ways.

If this doesn't put you off - and you do like things such as international travel, organising and running events, campaigning for greater fairness of provision, and tackling inequality in our region - you probably do have a lot to gain from joining. There is a place for anyone in the Youth Panel, if they bring a positive attitude and they care enough about the world around them.

Fill in all the questions, be honest in your responses, and hit the submit button to send it through to us. We will review it as quickly as we possibly can and you'll hear from us within 28 days.

Thank you for filling this in - I hope to be speaking with you soon!
