Since we opened the MINE section in early 2010, we have had hundreds of road safety activists from all sorts of background joining up. The representation is worldwide and members have had access to the the Global Youth Network, seeing what other road safety organizations are doing around the globe. Now, YOURS is offering new benefits to its members!
Earlier this year, YOURS Staff met and discussed a range of new opportunities, projects and campaigns. One of the key focuses lied in the Global Youth Network for Road Safety; the unique, one of its kind network that brings together youth activists and organizations dedicated to youth and road safety issues.
At the meeting, it was decided that YOURS is ready to re-energise and expand the network, which means; offering more services to members, offering benefits to members as well as tightening the criteria on joining the network. YOURS will offer members with a range of clear benefits that will be made available only to the YOURS network, some of these benefits include:
- Increased Access to resources and YOURS materials
- Increased Efficiency as a global voice road safety
- Increased Visibility and Credibility
A list of the full benefits of joining the YOURS network can be found at the link below.
Additionally, YOURS will be tightening the joining criteria to ensure our network remains youth and road safety orientated and youth driven. This will offer a quality check on the information entered into the network and offer members access to high quality information about youth and road safety from around the world. Some of the new criteria includes;
- Age: 15-30
- Be either a youth-led Non-Governmental Organization/non-profit organization/social enterprise/charity/stand alone project
focussing on road safety with a primary/some focus on young people or an individual active/interested in road safety. - Agree to the commitments of being a Road Safety Role Model
A list of the full criteria on joining the network can be found at the link below.
