Banyule Youth Services
Jets Events is a volunteer creative pathways program for young people interested in being involved in creative industries! Develop your skills and portfolio with Jets Studio to expand your opportunities and professional network. Participants refine their skills in event, artist & project management through developing music events and projects for young people in the Banyule community. This also includes content capture and providing media coverage for the events and projects. The All-Ages Tour in 2023 and the Mishmash Magazine project below are only some of the examples of what these young people can do.
In 2024, we will focus on planning and running live music events in Terms 1 & 2. Due to the involvement in YouthFest, all program activity will pause and focus solely on YouthFest ’24 in Term 3. Term 4 will move away from live music and focus on small creative projects and training opportunities.
Don’t know if this program is for you? Here are some of the pathways and creative projects that would benefit from being at Jets on Tuesdays:
Photo & Video at Events: Portrait & Live Music
Graphic Designers: Promotion & Marketing, Social Media Content, Music Artwork & Merchandise
Artists: solo or group performers aspiring to rehearse, perform or record music, or build their network of musician friends and collaborators
Music Management: Talent/Artist Management, Booking Management, Social Media Management, Event Development & Event Management
Promotion: Interviewing & Presenting, Event, Project & Artist Promotion
Jets Production Team in 2024 will be a semester-based program: each semester we will open up for a soloist or group to bring a 6-month goal to Jets, and they will have staff available and weekly, 3-hour rehearsals to support them to achieve it! Click here to apply and be considered.
Being involved with Jets Events can lead to industry training and networking opportunities, developing and managing live music events & projects of your creation. There are also opportunities to bring your music projects/events to life: whether it’s a local artist/organisation you want to collaborate with, or even a project such as a printed zine or photo lookbook, the possibilities are endless. FReeZA programs like this lead to pathway opportunities beyond the program, such as our Creative for Hire & Marketspace.
The best part of being at Jets Studios is interacting with others, being involved and being part of a team.
