The Young Trustees Movement, supported by Arts Council England, wants to meaningfully increase youth voice within arts charities.

Meet with other movement champions to inform how arts charities can meaningfully embed young people in their decision making.

Young Trustees Movement are leading on a project that aims to break down the barriers to youth voice within arts sector governance, and would like to hear the thoughts of movement champions like you!

We are holding consultation workshops to help us create practical recommendations for meaningful youth involvement.

This session is designed for people aged over 30 who are involved in arts charity governance and/or leadership and/or youth participation- for the consultation aimed at people aged under 30 who are interested or involved in arts governance / leadership, please see our events page.

A free 1 hour workshop that will leave you equipped to champion diversity on boards. This is held monthly, with new dates regularly added. Sign up here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/young-trustees-movement-champion-training-tickets-123188392799

About this event: When 1/12 trustees are named either John or David and fewer than 3% of trustees are under 30. It’s no secret that board diversity is an issue.

Join us in changing that. The first step is attending this workshop.

By the end of our 1 hour workshop you will:

• Be able to articulate and understand how young trustees can enable organisations to navigate uncertainty, future proof decisions and reflect the interest of their communities .
• Have a framework to understand how to approach diversity on boards.
• Be able to run a session with a board to plan practical and achievable next steps.

What attendees have said about the training:

• "Excellent training session, bringing together folks from the sector & aspiring young trustees. Something we're very keen prioritise as we expand our board" - Jon Arnold, CEO of Tiny Tickers
• "Feeling inspired after joining an amazing training". Ediane de Lima, Consultant at the Social Change Agency
• "I just became a Young Trustees Movement Champion! In this role I pledge to ensuring that young people are represented in the decision making of @S4TP_BigIdeas. I highly recommend the training." -Jen Baughan, CEO of Solutions for the Planet

Optional extra hour: There will also be an additional hour after the session where you will have access to a non-judgemental space, where you can talk through challenges, concerns and any other barriers to meaningfully recruiting and inducting young trustees.

Thanks to our funders we can offer this workshops for free. Please note we cap tickets so that we can make these sessions meaningful - if you book your ticket please be mindful of this.
