🏢 About us Helping Every Child Find Their Voice Smart School Councils is a charity helping every child to find their voice. At a time of deep division in society, too few young people get this opportunity. 💡 Our simple idea We believe that the most powerful tool is your voice, and learning to use it takes time, practice, and belief. Our award-winning, easy-to-use platform supports over 700+ member schools and helps 250,000 young people to speak up and make change in their schools. Schools in the most disadvantaged areas are hugely over-represented on our programme. Our schools use a simple tool to organise short, student-led class meetings that lead to real change and build oracy skills. Schools pay an annual subscription to access the platform.

Vision 👉🏽 With growth challenges, different projects and funding sources, we need to do further work to develop the organisation around a clear unified vision.
