GEC Shadow Advisory Board

What is a shadow board?

A shadow board is made up of young people to help diverse ideas and insights for an organisation. It also helps to understand the perspective and needs of those that might be blindsighted by older people.

Why apply for the GEC Shadow Board?

Too often diversity, equity, inclusion and sustainability is represented by old people. We want to smash this stereotype and as YOU - the future, our next generations - to advise us on our work, our focus and understand what we can do NOW to help you today. The GEC Shadow Board will initially focus on education - to help speak directly to schools and colleges to improve them for all students.
