The YRN empowers young people to raise their voice and influence on matters that affect their lives, by providing young people with research training and opportunities to carry out research projects as a tool for change.
The YRN can support organisations directly to work with and develop their own young researchers or can provide access to young researchers. Find out more about the YRN services >>
