The NYA is working with local authorities in Sandwell, Cumbria, Bradford and Plymouth to recruit, train and support a small group of young people who have been or are currently not in education, employment or training.
They in turn will become consultants to the local authority, shaping the provision for other young people and exercising genuine influence over local services.
NYA development officer Roger Morford said: "We will help these young people acquire the skills they need to engage more widely in their local areas and then move on to share their learning and experience with new authorities around the country. By helping to explore solutions that work in meeting the needs of young people not in education, employment or training, we believe they can make a real impact."
