    I'm just the right age, so I'm going to apply. :p

    What does the job involve? (apart from going to meetings)

    I've been to a few Carnegie events before, and seen some of their work and they do some really good stuff.

    From what I gather it involves various research into young peoples issues and then some quite big conferences (the one I went to was a the British Museum and had Ministers, GLA peoples and civil servants).


    I believe Carnegie are also looking for people to be involved in 'phase 3' of their work from september onwards in just member roles rather than chairing / vice-chairing. So if you're interested in getting invovled in participation work (looking at how young people can be involved in decision making) but not wanting to take such a prominant role as chairing etc, its probably still worth contacting Carnegie to find out more about other opportunities within the organisation.

    By the way, will the chairperson get paid expenses? Just wondering, because CYPI is in London and I'm in Scotland!
