Youth Advisory Board

BGF alumni can apply to join the Youth Advisory Board. The Advisory Board offers alumni the chance to contribute to the ongoing development of the BGF programme and the network of alumni.

The Advisory Board consists of five Board Members, two Alumni Mentors working with the current students, plus the Alumni Facilitator, who hosts alumni events and posts opportunities on BGF socials. The Board meets every 3 months.

The Advisory Board shapes the BGF experience for future students and for the 300+ BGF alumni. Some achievements of the Board so far include:

Surveying alumni to find out how to support them best.
Designing and recruiting an Alumni Facilitator role to host alumni events.
Improving BGF's student recruitment process and advertising.
Improving accessibility in BGF online content and at residential.
Helping BGF staff re-design the programme under new budget conditions.
