Campaigns

Transport

• cheaper transport for young people
• extending the existing freedom pass to trains
• extend the freedom pass to 16-19 yr olds

This year KYCC have been working hard to increase the Freedom Pass for 16 - 18 year olds as well as presenting their Better Transport Campaign video on how EMA will affect young people’s ability to get to post 16 Education to the Department for Education.

Members are now working with Mike Whiting, Cabinet Member for Education, Learning & Skills to agree a number of pilots across Kent for a Travel Card for 16 - 18 year olds in education or training.

Things to do, places to go

• increase opportunities for young people
• make young people aware of what is available
• creating a discount card for leisure activities

KYCC have been working to develop the new PLINGs website and app to ensure young people in Kent know what's going on in their area. 

If you know of any events for young people in Kent that you would like put onto the website then please email kycc@kent.gov.uk

Employment

• young peoples rights
• increasing apprenticeship opportunities
• finding jobs

The KYCC Employment Campaign Group are currently designing a Z card and poster to ensure young people know their employment rights, as well as where to get support with writing a CV, completing application forms and where to look for jobs!  The Z card will be launched in January, so look out for your free copy then.
