Join our Youth Forum

We are currently recruiting for two new members of our Youth Forum. 

Joining our Youth Forum gives you the opportunity to shape Wakefield Museums & Castles. We meet monthly for discussions, creative projects, research trips and social activities. All of this helps us to make our museums and castles more accessible and engaging for young people. 

Some of our previous members have shared why they think you should join our Youth Forum:

"You should join the Youth Forum so you can make lots of new friends, and learn lots of new skills. It's also really useful in job interviews and furthering your education."

"You should be part of the Youth forum because you get to join amazing creative projects that end up being displayed in the museum, and you'll meet amazing new people as well."

"You should join the Youth Forum because it gives us all a voice, for those who usually don't get heard, and it also means we can all come together and learn from each other’s pasts and experiences"

If you'd like to apply to join us, or you want to know more, please email museums@wakefield.gov.uk by Friday 2 October 2026.
