The Accord Group, which includes Ashram Housing Association and Redditch Co-operative Homes, is working with the Neighbourhood Resource Centre for Central England to recruit eight young advisers from schools in the region. The centre will carry out interviews for the positions - which will be filled by 16- to 19-year-olds - in July and August.
The appointees will represent the Wolverhampton, Sandwell and Dudley areas, and will carry out research projects on subjects they have identified as being important to their peers.
