Trustees
Voluntary role (expenses covered)
Four to six days per year time commitment

Kids in Museums is looking for people who are passionate about improving access to culture for children, young people and families to join our Board of Trustees.

As a Trustee, you can help shape our mission to change the museum and heritage sector to make it better for all children, young people and families, particularly those who currently have the least access. You’ll be joining a dedicated Board that brings a wide range of skills and experiences to the charity and have the chance to become involved with exciting Kids in Museums programmes such as the Family Friendly Museum Award and Takeover Day.

Our Trustees have the opportunity to:

  • Learn new transferable skills such as strategic planning and risk management.
  • Join new professional networks in the museum sector and beyond.
  • Give something back by improving access to the museum and heritage sector.

All Trustees receive a free package of training and support to help them settle into their roles. All expenses are covered by Kids in Museums.

The expected time commitment is four to six days per year. We are looking for people to start from our Board meeting in June 2024.

We welcome applications from everyone, but we are particularly keen to hear from first time Trustees, people who identify as D/deaf and/ or disabled, people from ethnic minority backgrounds and people from working-class backgrounds.
