Youth Council

The Youth Council is a voluntary opportunity for young people interested in learning about working in the arts, and passionate about contributing towards the future development of NYB and the way we work with young people. Members can be part of the group for up to two years. We would like the Youth Council to reflect a wide range of young voices so it can represent the diversity of society.

Youth Council is comprised of young people who can:

  • commit to attending council meetings
  • give feedback on NYB activities to help us think about what works best for young people
  • listen to others, reflect, collaborate, and share opinions
  • be happy to represent NYB as young ambassadors and take part in focus groups
  • help us think about new ideas for audience development.

 

In exchange, they will gain

  • a good understanding of how an arts organisation runs
  • valuable work experience having your voice heard and influencing what happens at NYB
  • leadership skills including advocating for young people in wider dance sector
  • the chance to help at other NYB activities such as welcoming or ushering at events
  • an active two way dialogue with NYB, in particular the senior management team.
