Youth Voices & Resources

Stories, research and resources that bring the experiences of care-experienced young people into wider conversations.

Youth Voice

Nothing about young people without listening to young people.

Storytelling gives young people an opportunity to share their experiences in their own way and helps others understand the realities of transitioning from care.

United and Unique

A collaboration between young people and organisations in South Africa and Northern Ireland exploring the experiences of young people leaving care.

The project brought together Mamelani Projects, VOYPIC, Queen's University Belfast and the UCT Children's Institute.
