Why Your Board Needs Someone Under 30

Empowering Young Creative Thinkers

Have you ever thought about how amazing it would be to have someone under 30 on your board? At Rising Arts Agency, we love to empower young creative thinkers. We exist to champion the incredible impact they can make in the world. All our creatives are under the age of 30. Both our Co-Directors are under 35. We don't say this to flex but to prove a point.

Young people are leaders now. 

You may or may not know Rising Arts Agency is a Bristol-based community interest company (CIC). Our entire community of 100+ artists are from underrepresented backgrounds. They are the creative force behind so many of our successful commissions. They are the experts that have worked with organisations as big as the National Trust and Channel 4. Their value is clear to us. It's why we're passionate about creating a fairer future for all young creatives.

A Fresh Wind of Innovation

Now, imagine inviting one of these incredible young leaders to join your board—it could completely change the game! These young professionals have grown up in the digital age and have a wealth of innovative ideas to share. Their energy and creativity are sure to shake things up and help your organization stay ahead of the curve.

Diversity and Inclusion: A Competitive Edge

But it's not just about fresh ideas; it's also about diversity and inclusion. Organizations that welcome diverse perspectives are proven to be more innovative and successful. Bringing someone under 30 onto your board amplifies voices that may have been overlooked and creates a more well-rounded team. Plus, you'll be better equipped to connect with younger employees and customers.

Building a Community of Change

When you empower young leaders, you inspire others within your organization too. Inviting someone under 30 onto your board sends a clear message that you value young people and believe in their potential. This can lead to a more inclusive and engaging culture for everyone.
