After the success of our first year of the Youth Advisory Panel, we're happy to announce applications are now open for the 2025-26 session.

"Being on the YAP has been such a great experience! I've been able to get involved in so many new opportunities that have led to great career and personal growth. From creating Instagram content, to speaking in webinars, and discussing professional titles, I feel I've really been able to make a difference in such a short space of time!"
If you are aged between 16 and 25 years on 1 April 2025, based in the UK, and passionate about cyber security, then this opportunity is for you.
Successful candidates will serve a voluntary position on the Panel from April 2025 to April 2026 with the opportunity to be re-appointed at the end of the term. The role will include meetings and project work, and we expect it to be approximately 4-6 hours of their time per month. The Council will also cover the cost of a Basic disclosure check for all Panel members.
Applications go live on Monday 20 January and close on Sunday 9 February. We will invite shortlisted candidates for a video call for the week commencing 17 February.
If you would like to apply, complete the application form using the below link by 17:00 on Sunday 9 February. We may close applications early if we receive a very high number of applications.
