Get Involved: Join our Alumni Network
Completing all three stages of the KEY+ Challenge doesn't have to be the end of your journey - it's just the beginning. By joining our alumni network, The Key Collective, you'll stay connected to a supportive community of young people and gain access to a wide range of exciting opportunities.
Whether you want to keep building your skills, grow your network, or get involved in new ways, The Key Collective is the perfect way to stay in touch and continue making a difference.
Exciting Opportunities for Key Alumni:
Want to make a real difference? Volunteer with The Key and help bring young people’s ideas to life. As a Panel Member you’ll review projects created by other young people and give them the green light to make it happen.
It’s flexible, easy to fit around your life, and a great way to inspire others!
Join The Key’s Youth Advisory Board
Make your voice heard and help shape the future of The Key. Our YAB is made up of passionate young people who share their ideas, give honest feedback, and help influence real decisions that shape our work.
Being part of the YAB is a chance to speak up on issues that matter to you, build your leadership skills, and make a real difference alongside other inspiring young people.
We’re not always recruiting new members, but we keep a list of interested young people so that when spaces open up - for example, when members move on to exciting opportunities like full-time jobs or university - we can invite new voices to join quickly. If this sounds like something for you, let us know and we’ll keep in touch for future opportunities
Get hands-on experience that helps you build real skills and boost your confidence - all in a supportive, encouraging environment. Whether it’s helping to run events, supporting upcoming projects, or working behind the scenes, this is your chance to learn by doing. You'll gain practical experience, grow your network, and discover what you’re capable of.
We may not always have work experience opportunities available, but if this is something you’re interested in, we’ll be in touch when they come up - or you can reach out to us to find out more.
We love putting young people at the heart of everything we do - and that includes running out events.
When we say “host”, we mean you get to be the one on stage: welcoming everyone, introducing speakers, sharing your voice, and helping lead the day. It's your chance to shine, build confidence, and inspire others.
We don’t always have events coming up, but we’ll be in touch when opportunities to host arise.
How to Register:
