Government launches youth engagement website

The government has launched The Join website, it's about about making a positive impact on your life and community and gives you access to information about different organisations and activities you might want to get involved with.

Why not take an active role in local politics, talk to your MP, campaign on local issues or join the UK Youth Parliament? You could also volunteer to help charities or environmental projects.

Your views are important, so it’s good to join in on messageboard chats to discuss issues like immigration, crime and the environment. Being a good citizen goes far beyond politics – there are so many ways you can make a difference. By not littering, reporting crime or taking care of a vulnerable person, you are helping to build and strengthen your local community.

So check out Join now!
