Hello All,
I am looking to recruit a volunteer to assist me on the National Maritime Museum's Youth Participation programme, namely to support the Youth Advisory Group. The role would be 2 days a month and a great opportunity for anyone looking to gain more experience and contribute to the programme. Please could you forward around to anyone you think may be interested?
We have had a successful Youth Advisory Group (YAG) since 2008. This group of 15-20 young people, aged 13-20, take part in regular meetings and workshops at the National Maritime Museum. They come from varied backgrounds and attend independently (i.e. not as part of their school programming). The YAG work on projects together to make the Museum more relevant to young people. Recent projects include working with a performance artist for Takeover Day (November 2012) and creating an exhibition in the Museum, Traders Remixed, inspired by Indian contact with the East India Company. Upcoming programmes include working together on a Summer School and partnerships with other groups of young people. For further information see the NMM youth pages: http://www.rmg.co.uk/about/youth/
and the blog: http://nmmyouthadvisorygroup.blogspot.co.uk/
As the YAG continues to grow, we are looking for a committed volunteer to help support the programme at weekends and during school holidays. The Group meets once a month, although this can be more frequent when working on projects together. Your role would be a minimum of 2 days per month (one YAG workshop and one office based day to work on the programme together with the Youth Participation Officer).
It would be an excellent opportunity for someone wanting to gain experience in Museum Education or Youth Participation. You will be able to include experience gained at the National Maritime Museum on your C.V.
More details are attached, and the closing date for applications is Monday 25 March 2013.
Best Wishes,
Shauna
