At YouBeYou – Ngāmotu Theatre for Youth, we’re building something extraordinary. A place where young people discover their voices, their confidence, and their joy. But to make that magic happen, we need you.
We’re looking for people who can:
Direct, musically direct, or teach dance, drama, and voice
Build sets, paint, design costumes, or manage wardrobe
Bring brilliance to sound, lighting, and stage management
Support the organisation through marketing, finance, and administration (yes, the “sexy” behind-the-scenes work that keeps the lights on!)
Or simply lend your energy, encouragement, and presence to cheer our kids on
Our Commitments
1. Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Every member—child or adult—must feel safe, valued, and free to bring their whole self into our space. No matter your ability, age, gender identity or expression, orientation, ethnicity, economic background, faith, or social identity—you belong here. We are not a place of judgment. We are a place of empowerment, growth, and joy.
2. Personal Development & Social Education Theatre is more than the final performance. It’s about learning, laughing, and growing together. Someone once said: “It doesn’t matter if the show isn’t perfect, as long as everyone learned something and had fun.” We couldn’t agree more. Of course, audiences deserve great entertainment—but what matters most is that our members leave with friendships, memories, and the confidence to be themselves.
Years from now, we want every young person to look back on their time with YouBeYou – Ngāmotu and remember:
The friendships they made
The skills they learned
The joy of belonging
The happiness of being accepted exactly as they are
That’s the heart of what we do.
