Connex - Exeter

When you think of Connexions, you probably ask yourself a question - "How can they help me?" But YOU can help Connexions as well! Do you want to know HOW?

Offices across 2 counties are inviting young people to come and share their opinions about the service. YOU can influence the way Connexions supports young people.

You can speak out for people who can't or are afraid to.

It's fun! Get together and have a laugh while talking about important subjects into how to change Connexions to make it better for young people. You can help Connexions:

• To make the service more accessible
• To create more advertising and promotional materials so people know more about what they do
• To hear what you have got to say so that they can help you and other people better.

All groups across Cornwall and Devon are called Connex, but they also have their individual names. Our Exeter group is called VIP Connex. VIP stands for Very Inspirational Posse so you have the power to inspire :)

In March 2010 we started working on a project about social networking and we need your voice and opinions to make this project a success! We want to hear from you about what Connexions needs to do to keep up to date with the latest information technology, but at the same time keep the service professional, confidential and accountable to you.

Join us on the first Tuesday of the month at 5 pm. We are meeting at Connexions centre in Queen Street. Phone Aga at Connexions on 0800 97 55 111 if you want to have an informal chat about it.

What will you get in exchange for your priceless contribution?

• nice snacks and drinks
• travel expenses paid for
• £5 gift voucher for attendance
• something exciting to put on your CV
• chance to meet other young people and have fun!
• opportunity to sit down and chat with friends about what you're able to do in the future careers wise: jobs, apprenticeships and anything else that concerns young people.

Have a look at some of our photos showing how we're working and celebrating together! :)
