Ipswich Museum Young Associates Programme. Join us for the exciting launch on 26 July!

Ipswich Museum Young Associates are a group of young people (14-25) who will gain insight into the museum sector and develop new and existing skills to shape their own events. Through regular meetings once a month, you will have the opportunity to collaborate, participate, learn and develop transferable skills, whilst engaging with our collections and professionals in their field, and lead an event at Ipswich Museum once a year. The best part is, the entire programme will be completely led by YOU! Want to find out more? Join us on Friday 26 July.

No experience needed just an interest to explore new ideas and interests in a relaxed and supportive environment.
