The Young Researcher Network works to value, support, and encourage research led by young people. It will empower young people and raise their voice and influence on matters that affect their lives.

The mission of the Young Researcher Network (YRN) is to value, support and encourage research led by young people. The Network is run by the National Youth Agency as part of its work with the Local Government Association (LG Association), supported through topsliced funding for local authorities. We aim to empower young people and raise their voice and influence on matters that affect their lives. We do this by providing young people with training and support, and opportunities to carry out research as a tool for change.

Funding opportunity - Young people’s voice and influence in developing services 

NYA is pleased to invite applications for our research grant programme for 2010/11. The grant programme is designed to enable organisations working with young people to complete a short research project, funded and supported by the YRN.
