The Youth Advisory Board met in November to welcome new members and elect new Co-Chairs for 2025-26.
The Doorstep Youth Advisory board meets officially twice a year in addition to the regular Youth Co-Chair meetings, with regular decisions and conversations in-between.
I wanted to be on the youth advisory board to help out and help in decision making. After being a part of doorstep for years and years I am so glad that I have the opportunity to take on this role to help make a difference by seeing how doorstep make drama fun and accessible to all.

I wanted to join the Youth Advisory board to become more involved in the process of running Doorstep as I’ve been attending for around 3 years and have really enjoyed my time in the company. I’m looking forward to being able to come up with ideas on how to make things more efficient, helpful, and also help out with the social media accounts!

As a new Co-Chair of the Youth Advisory Board I can already see from my first meeting that’s it’s going to be a really fun and rewarding process to be able to be involved in the insightful decisions that go on behind the scenes.

Going forward into the New Year, there are various plans that are going to be put into place for further involvement of the youth co chairs in the running of doorstep. We are going to be taking on a bigger role than last year, with the option to participate as much or as little as we feel comfortable doing. As part of this, we aim to have a say in fundraising ideas, write more posts for the doorstep blog and support the planning in different events that Doorstep holds. We also want to unite the groups more, by talking to members of different doorstep groups about any issues or ideas they might want to bring forward to the adult advisors.
