The MOD. Youth Board is a program for young people who are interested in testing, prototyping, and co-designing exciting new museum concepts, exhibitions, events, and experiences.

Youth Board members  participate in professional development with the exhibition team, with behind-the-scenes access to upcoming exhibitions and programs. They are  involved in working alongside artists and researchers and directly contributing to MOD.’s exhibition.
