Youth Forum

We are a group of 18- 30-year-olds and early career professionals who are passionate about heritage and want to make our voices heard in the sector.

We co-produced our goals and plan our programme in order to realise them. We meet monthly and organise regular activities to help us achieve our aims.

Now 170-strong, we have achieved a great deal. We have hosted a Careers Panel and Speed Mentoring event, produced regular blogs, started a podcast channel, started an advice library, and consulted and collaborated with heritage organisations.

We’ve also spoken at the Network’s conference in Dunfermline and created a series of active sub-groups such as EDI, placemaking, podcast and carbon literacy.

Youth Forum Resources

The Advice library has been put together by members of Heritage Trust Network Youth Forum with the help of professionals in the heritage sector.

It is intended to give any young or early careers professionals a hand to find the right resources to help you.
