Investing in our youth empowers the leaders of tomorrow. The Community Music Center of Boston (CMCB) established the Youth Employment Program (YEP) to cultivate the potential of the next generation of arts leaders. This program offers young people invaluable hands-on work experience within an arts administration nonprofit, equipping them with transferable skills for success in any field. Hear from a current Youth Employee about their journey and aspirations within Boston's creative sector, while we explore CMCB's philosophy on youth workforce development and envision the future of this vital work for arts education organizations.

Presenters:

Joi Harper, CMCB Marketing & Communications Manager, Youth Employee Supervisor, Former Youth Employee

Taylor Rogers, CMCB Youth Development Manager

Lecolion Washington, CMCB Executive Director and Youth Employee Supervisor

Annie Yuan, CMCB Youth Employee
