About GL4

GL4 is a community interest company based in Matson. We have three core stands of work, live events, Youth Participation and Community Engagement. We want to break down the barriers that people feel when they think of visiting the theatre. We believe creativity and the arts should be easily accessible to all.

About the youth board

GL4’s youth board is being created to support young people in Matson, Robinswood and White City to shape and develop creative opportunities available to them. For people aged 14-19 years, the board will meet monthly and advise on GL4’s program as well as put together at least one annual event for other young people in the area.

We want our youth board to work with other groups in the community and represent a wide range of youth voices.

About the role

We are looking for a confident and creative Youth Board Coordinator to plan, coordinate and ensure the smooth running of monthly Youth Board meetings and help develop Youth Board projects as required. They will work closely with, and be managed by, Katy Costigan, our Participation Producer who oversees our participation programme and currently leads on our youth projects.

The Youth Board Coordinator needs to be able to engage with young people and be excited by helping young people fulfil their potential. We’re looking for someone who will help guide the Youth Board when making creative decisions about what activities and events they’d like to see in their community, as well as offering support as the Youth Board plans their own event.
