The Surrey Youth Cabinet runs a program called the Surrey Young Mayor. The role of the young mayor is to champion the voices of young people, like you, across Surrey. They are elected for a term to represent your views. They also encourage you to create opportunities around issues that matter to you and your community.
The young mayor aims to:
- listen and act on the views of young people in Surrey
- encourage young people to be active citizens and champion democracy
- recognise the value and potential of young people's ideas and support them
If you are interested in inviting the Surrey Young Mayor to an event or want to contribute to the work of the Surrey Youth Cabinet, please contact youthcabinet@surreycc.gov.uk.
