Following his appointment as junior energy and climate change minister on 9 June, David Kidney relinquished his role as chair of the group, a position he has held for three and a half year.
Confirmation of Southworth's new role will be made at the next meeting of the group in July.
Addressing children, young people and voluntary organisations at a meeting of the group this week, Southworth said: "I am looking forward to hearing what you have to say and I will be making sure that the government hear those messages and do something about it."
