Connecting young people through music.
Chroma
Founded in 2010, The YPN have orchestrated many live music events, workshops and career opportunities across RCT, successfully bringing young people together to share in their love of music.
We are a collective of like-minded young people, aged 16-25, working together to connect fellow young people to music industry opportunities. The project is driven by young people who play an active part in designing and delivering every aspect.

We host workshops with industry professionals, helping everyone involved to gain some of the skills needed to work in various sectors of the events industry.
Through learning together as a collective, we give young people the chance to develop as sound engineers, stagehands, promoters, photographers and much more.
We believe there is no substitute for first hand experience and helping young people achieve this is what we do. Sound’s cool…what are you waiting for? Get in touch!
