Through the CWU Youth Empowerment Strategy (YES) project we are now able to provide Youth Officers with a number resources that have been developed using your feedback in conjunction with the Youth Advisory Committee, the YES Steering Group and the support of the Communications Department. We have also sought to bring together a number of links to external but important information you may also find useful.

We would like you to use them and where you think we can improve them please let us know, we can't promise to get everything right but we're here to help. Please email your suggestions to Jo Thair jthair@cwu.org
