Deadline: 9 January 2024
The Birmingham Hippodrome is looking for applicants who have an interest in lots of different areas of theatre as well as performance including marketing, finance, tech, stage management and education.
Birmingham Hippodrome’s Young Advocates are a group of young people that, whilst on their own journey of learning and development, will shape and influence the work of Birmingham Hippodrome.
The Young Advocates is a hands-on programme and requires a commitment to attend most sessions and deliver projects during summer. There will be some flexibility in attendance, and they’ll make space for exam season, but you’ll get the most out of it by being highly engaged.
What you’ll get?
- You’ll receive a commitment from the Hippodrome to give you personalised support, development and lots of amazing experiences!
What does it involve?
- Young Advocates will spend a year with them, starting in early 2024.
- They’ll meet twice a month on Thursday evenings, alternating between planning and discussion meetings and skills development and training sessions.
- After summer 2024, they’ll look to match you up with a placement within the Hippodrome in an area of your interest.
Eligibility Criteria
- Young people aged 14-22 from across the West Midlands are welcome to apply.
- They’d love to hear from as many young people as possible. You don’t need to have any experience; they’re looking for interest in the work of the Hippodrome and a commitment to the programme.
