Youth Forum
The Youth Forum in Lincolnshire YFC was formed in 2006 from consultations with the county members. It was agreed that a youth forum would be formed to enable the younger members who are 18 and under to have their voices heard. The youth forum meetings are planned by the youth forum leader who is also a coordinator who organises with the youth forum members who come from Clubs all over the county when and where they meet. The meetings are a mixture of organising and decisions being made followed by fun and games or training.
