Board Academy young trustees and host organisations

Board Academy is a six month programme of active and experiential learning developed and delivered by The Mighty Creatives, which supports young trustees to gain the knowledge, skills and confidence necessary to govern and develop arts and cultural organisations.

Having successfully completed the first Board Academy programme, The Mighty Creatives will be running their second Broad Academy programme, starting in June, and are now looking to recruit a new group of young trustees and host organisations to take part. 
 
This development programme aims to provides experiences, models and tools to enable young people to improve their confidence and effectiveness as trustees. 

The process directly involves host organisations in the Academy, to ensure the transfer of learning and to support the young people involved, and includes three residentials, one-to-one sessions including psychometric testing, an evaluation day and tailored sessions with host organisations and young trustees. 

For further information or if you know a young trustee interested in attending the Academy email mary@themightycreatives.com. Young people who are interested but are not currently a trustee, can interest with The Mighty Creatives, who will then pass on opportunities to apply to become a trustee as they hear about them.

The cost to host organisations is £500 per place. The first Residential will be held on Saturday 28 and Sunday 29 June, with the second in September and the third in November. There will also be an Evaluation Day in January 2015.
