Airport Youth Forum
Giving local young people a voice in the future of East Midlands Airport
As part of our Sustainability Strategy: Creating a sustainable future for all, we undertake a wide range of stakeholder engagement. To widen and diversify this work, we introduced Youth Forums at all our airports in 2021.
The opportunity to become a member of our Youth Forum is open to young people aged between 17 and 25 who are either completing an apprenticeship or attending a local sixth form, college, or university.
For more information or to apply to become a member of the EMA Youth Forum, please email community@eastmidlandsairport.com.
