A collective of 18–25 year olds from across the North East, working with Generator to shape the future of music and creativity in the region.
Our Young Ambassadors bring fresh ideas, real insight, and help steer our work from the inside out.
Generator is proud to be a founding member of the Northern Music Network - a powerhouse collective of partners working together to champion and strengthen the music sector across the North of England.
The network exists to showcase Northern talent, share best practice, and push for a music industry that’s sustainable, inclusive, and accessible to all.
We’re always open to fresh ideas, new energy and people who want to make things happen. Whether you're just starting out or bringing years of experience, if you care about culture, creativity and making real change in the North - we want to hear from you.
