SJM Youth Committee

The Sydney Jewish Museum Youth Committee (SJMYC) is made up of a diverse group of secondary students students from across NSW that engage with the Museum in a variety of ways. Members of this committee have the unique opportunity to make a difference and use their voice to make a better world.

Members of the SJMYC perform the following roles:

• Act as an ambassador for the Sydney Jewish Museum, promoting its work on morality, social justice, democracy and human rights and embodying its corresponding core values. Partake in unique behind-the-scenes experiences that arise as part of different SJM projects (e.g. meeting with Survivors, testing new technologies, handling new artefacts).
• Brainstorm ideas for temporary exhibitions, education programs, education resources and commemorative events from a youth perspective.
• Discuss relevant current affairs issues and the SJM’s response to such issues.
• Attend five meetings held outside of school hours onsite at the Sydney Jewish Museum. Funding is available to support the travel of students from outside of Sydney.
