Young Leaders
Young Leaders programmes allow young people aged 14-25 to connect with others, discover their passion and gain work skills. It is completely free.
At Storyhouse we offer inclusive creative programmes and focus on removing barriers that may prevent young people from taking part. If you need any support or advice, our team are here to help.
In 2025, we have two Young Leaders programmes to choose from, as well as a brand-new informal social group for people aged 14-25.
