Are you aged between 16 and 24 and want to represent children and young people to help shape and develop football in this country? Then The FA want to hear from you as they look to recruit 13 young people for the 2018-19 FA National Youth Council.

Their current vision is to inspire, empower and provide a voice for all children and young people to influence change, and develop a lasting legacy in football.

The newly appointed team of young people will build on the success of last year’s team.

The goals developed by The FA YC are drawn from the National Game Strategy, with the group determined to have an impact on increasing the number of children and young people (CYP) participating and volunteering in football as well as developing a vast CYP network with County FA youth councils and student managements teams in all regions across the country; and deliver specific projects for young people including The FA’s Leadership Academy.

All roles with The FA Youth Council are voluntary. However, out of pocket expenses will be covered with the prior approval of FA Staff.

Recognising diversity and promoting inclusion is a priority for The FA in our efforts to make football a game For All. We recognise that footballs workforce should represent wider society therefore especially welcome applications from females, those from diverse ethnic backgrounds, people with disabilities, from diverse faith groups and from the LGBT communities (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender)

Successful candidates will be expected to attend all FA Youth Council Meetings throughout the year. Meetings are usually held in a central location of the country (accommodation is provided).

The closing date for applications is 20 July.
