Killhope Lead Mining Museum

March 2007

In conjunction with the Regional Youth Work Unit- North East and Museums, Libraries and Archives (MLA) North East, Killhope museum has developed a vision for working with young people. To achieve the vision of an inclusive programme of activities for young people, Killhope museum needs to have the resources and staffing in place to turn the vision into a reality. The key development of the programme will be the employment of a young persons programme development officer. This post will oversee the development of personal and social development programmes for young people, accredited opportunities and volunteering at the museum. To make the post effective, additional resources will need to be allocated to develop new engagement programme with young people. Young people are at the heart of future developments at Killhope Lead Mining Museum. Young people have been involved in developing the vision and will continue to be part of the process that will turn vision into reality.
