Get Involved

Voice is an open digital platform

Voice is a lively online youth magazine which promotes young people’s voice in the arts and showcases young artists and careers in the cultural sector. Training and support is at the heart of Voice and we offer pathways from seeing your first show to exploring a career in the arts, developing vital soft skills for personal and professional growth. We foster a strong community of young people, and encourage them to share their own creative experiences on our platform.

Voice is aimed at young people aged 13-30, but we welcome everybody to use the site. If you’re under 13 you are still allowed to post your work, but you must have the permission of an adult parent or supervisor.

You can get involved with Voice at any level you’re comfortable with, from simply reading and sharing the articles you enjoy – all the way through to writing your own with the support of the editorial team. Find out more about the opportunities Voice can offer you below.
