Youth Council
Written by Itai ( S3 ) Following the vote in July , two pupils from each school in South Ayrshire and a few over 16 representatives were voted in the first South Ayrshire Youth Council . After an overwhelming turnout in our school ' s vote , our two candidates were Timur Zinchenko and Itai Ben Horesh .
The overall youth council has met twice thus far , one in August , the introductory meeting at the Ayr County Buildings with guests from councillors and officials , and the second in September , held at Belmont Academy .
The purpose of the Youth Council itself is for young people around the council area to have a voice and to be able to raise their concerns . At the introductory meeting , attendees voted on a list of predetermined issues to have priorities on , which includes more awareness for LGBTQ people and increased mental health support . The second meeting focused more on splitting the youth councillors into sub-groups , including battling the cost of living crisis and choosing applicants from Primary 7 schools .
