The Youth Advisory Board (YAB) began in 2019 as a group of young people who were passionate about the arts, and who wanted to make young voices heard in support of the arts especially to promote the importance of the arts.
The young people on the YAB are a diverse group of ages, genders, and ethnicities from our Associate Schools Programme - one of their main aims is to make sure everyone’s voices are heard and acted upon, no matter who they are. They want to make a change in the world we are living in today, and to make sure the arts thrive in the future.
The YAB formed to make the voices of the youth heard in an age where this beautiful sector is slowly disappearing due to the actions of a society that doesn’t realise its importance.
Together we are:
- Passionate about equity and inclusion in the arts
- Respectful of other people’s ideas
- Unafraid to challenge and voice our opinions
- Resolute about making a positive difference in society
- Committed to listening to others and working collaboratively.
