TrueTube uses the powerful medium of the web, and advances in streaming video technology to help young people think, speak out and act on important issues happening in the real world.

In order to maximise our impact we have created two offline projects to compliment the work of TrueTube. These youth led initiatives involve a range of real time events and issue driven projects designed to motivate and empower young people, including those who are hard to reach, to invest their time into community issues and take appropriate action. We have a number of paid and volunteer posts that are available.

1. TrueVan
A mobile video booth, internet provider and gaming station allowing disadvantaged young people access to online experiences and encouraging a new generation of responsible global citizens. This will visit 24 youth groups and schools across England during summer and autumn 2009.

2. (i)TrueVents
6 highly interactive online and real-life events during which young people, experts, politicians, journalists and others explore a major issue facing young people and come up with solutions. These events will be designed and delivered by young people with the aim of encouraging post event community action.

(ii) Annual TrueVent
The TrueVents will feed into the Annual Event that will take place at the end of November 2009. This will be designed and delivered by the youth steering group and other young volunteers. High profile politicians, business people, activists, journalists, academics, union bosses, church leaders, community leaders, artists and young people will come together to discuss major issues affecting young people.
