Youth Arts New Zealand (YANZ) is a youth-led creative social enterprise nurturing the next generation of creative New Zealanders. We connect, showcase and develop young creatives through strategic partnerships and collaborations within the creative sector and beyond. After recruiting our Board and going full-time in 2020, YANZ is launching into an exciting strategic period with a focus on expanding our holistic impact for rangatahi.
To ensure our values and strategic goals cultivate cultural safety for all rangatahi we work with, one of our priorities at YANZ is to embrace cultural competency at all levels of our mahi - including governance. Subsequently, we look towards this new era as an opportunity to bring Aotearoa's diverse voices to the forefront of our strategic kōrero. We are recruiting up to 3 additional trustees to deepen the cultural competency and youth representation of our governance.
We are searching for trustees with the following knowledges and perspectives:
In addition, the following attributes are desirable, but not necessary:
While prior experience on boards is valuable, this most certainly is not a condition for applying - especially for interested youth/rangatahi. Most importantly, we are searching for board members that are willing to strengthen Youth Arts New Zealand’s values and bring fresh perspectives to how we might consciously realise our strategic goals.

If you are interested in becoming a YANZ Trustee, please email an expression of interest to our Chair, Tania Jones on chair@youtharts.co.nz. This ad will remain open until all positions have been filled.
