Make your voice heard 

Do you know a young person aged 14-19 who would benefit from collaborating with other young people on a project to enhance West Sussex Music? 

For the last year West Sussex Music has had six enthusiastic young people from across the county engaged as part of the Youth Advisory Board and now there are more spaces available! 

The Youth Advisory Board plays an important role in helping to shape West Sussex Music’s provision, but don’t just take our word for it. Edelyn, a member of the Youth Advisory Board had this to say:  

“You should join the youth advisory board to not only get yours, and your friends, ideas heard and improve our music service, but also to gain confidence, improve your college application or CV and meet likeminded, musical people. There is a mix of opportunities from chairing a meeting to collaborating on a video!” 

If you are aged 14-19 yrs (up to 25yrs for those with additional needs), have a keen interest in music and want to shape the way we deliver our services, we want to hear from you! 

To have your voice heard about the musical opportunities in the county and what you’d like to see as the future of music, young people who are interested need to fit the following criteria – 

• Be aged 14-19yrs (25yrs SEN/D) 

• Live in West Sussex 

• Be musically active – perhaps you’re a songwriter, or a singer, or play an instrument, or you’re in a group, or you compose…

• Be able to attend six online meetings across the year 

Edelyn added:  

“I love the meetings, they are friendly, relaxed and led by us. We are allowed to go off and work on ideas individually or as a team, it’s a great environment.”
