We are searching for Youth Forum members and a Youth Forum Chair...
Would you or someone you know be a perfect fit for these exciting voluntary roles?
YOUTH FORUM MEMBER
We are looking for 11 enthusiastic young people (aged 18 to 30) to become members of the Go Live Youth Forum; a collective of creative, enthusiastic, committed young voices helping us make theatre more accessible to children and young people.
As a Youth Forum member, you’ll take part in six in-person meetings per year, contribute to shaping our future, and gain valuable experience and training in arts leadership. No previous theatre experience is needed – just passion and commitment.
CHAIR OF THE YOUTH FORUM
We are also seeking one exceptional individual to step into the leadership role as Chair of the Youth Forum and Trustee on our Board. This unique position offers a valuable experience in governance – you’ll chair six forum meetings per year and attend four Board of Trustee meetings (10 meetings in total).
This crucial role provides a link between the Youth Forum and the Board of Trustees, and the chair will champion the voices of young people across the organisation. It’s a fantastic opportunity for someone looking to build on their leadership skills, advocate for inclusion and opportunities for young people in the arts and gain hands-on experience in governance.
Both roles are voluntary and previous experience working in theatre is not required. What is most important is passion, enthusiasm, commitment and a willingness to listen and learn. We are especially keen to hear from young people with lived or embodied experience connected to the communities we work with.
This includes (but is not limited to):
- Care-experienced young people
- Young carers
- Disabled, D/deaf and neurodiverse young people
- Young people who have attended pupil referral units
- Refugees and/or asylum seekers
- Young people whose families have experienced challenging circumstances
- Young people from a low socio-economic background
- Young people from global majority backgrounds
