Youth Committee
DMC’s Youth Committee is comprised of members of our youth company, Future Makers, and our Engagement Officer, DMC Member Emma Harrison.
The function of the Youth Committee is to give voice to the young artists who form Future Makers, to give them agency to lead the design of their program, to feed to the Board and DMC their ideas, and provide feedback on how to make our youth engagement programs more relevant and youth-led.
A Future Maker Member of the Youth Committee is nominated by Future Makers to represent them on DMC’s Board.
