How it works:
How it works:
1
Students request to join YER, completely for free, with no past experience required
2
Students join our community, start their own research project or join a group's one
3
Students work on research projects at their own pace, with no time constraints
4
Students have their work reviewed by their peers, then have it published online
YER is 100% volunteer-led, volunteer-run research group made up of only 15 to 18 year-olds who get to choose their own ideas and interests to write on, collaborate with others in creating research pieces, and have their work published and credited. If that sounds interesting to you, consider applying, by continuing to the Apply page.
If you are:
Between the ages of 15 and 18
Interested in Economics, Finance or Politics
Able to read and write English, since we currently cannot support extra languages
From anywhere in the world (not just the UK!)
Consider applying and tell your friends!
On a side note, if you don't want to write but simply talk with like-minded people, just say that in your application form and you will just be invited to the Stoat community.

Who's behind this?
My name is Hemish Kumar. I'm a 16 year old student in Aberdeen who loves Economics and Politics. I founded YER because of the struggle many of us face trying to find relevant opportunities that relate to our interest. Too many times, there are simply not enough spaces for the growing number of pupils interested in a future in the industry. Feel free to get in contact with me at hshecon@gmail.com
