About ENVOY – Becoming an ENVOY Member

ENVOY is our national youth forum and involves young people aged 11-25 from across England. They develop, support and promote our work to young people and NCVYS members on a National and Regional level. ENVOY can be described in two ways, these are, Regional ENVOY Members (REMs) and National ENVOY Members (NEMs).  

Regional ENVOY Members (REMs)

All young people joining ENVOY are Regional ENVOY members. They work closely with our Young Facilitators, who support them to work on tasks and activities within their region. 

REMs have the opportunity to:

• Work with Young Facilitators to plan regional activities
• Promote ENVOY regionally 
• Sit on advisory groups to develop NCVYS’s work
• Plan and deliver regional events and workshops
• Attend training courses delivered by NCVYS 
• Take part in ENVOY activity residentials
• And much more!

Regional ENVOY Members can apply to become a NEM.  NEMs involve 30 young people who are taken from the Regional ENVOY membership.  They have the option to be a NEM for up to two years working on a range of tasks at a national level.
