Play a Part in Our Mission to Empower the Next Generation

Whether you’re looking to develop your practice through Creating Pathways, volunteer your time, join our Board of Trustees, or apply for one of our Vacancies, there are many ways to be part of our mission to support and empower young people.

Creating Pathways

Development Programme

Young Identity’s year-long Creating Pathways programme supports underrepresented young people aged 13–25 to progress into the creative and cultural sector.

This in-person programme expands learning for young creatives, offering opportunities in youth governance, event production, publishing and workshop facilitation. Through the pathways of our Young Producers, Young Publishers, Young Performers and Young Leaders, you will gain valuable experience in the creative industries.

You will build relationships with artists, partners and industry professionals to access mentorship opportunities, training and specialist classes. You will access progression opportunities that build confidence and support pathways into cultural leadership, creative practice and wider sector roles.

How to Apply

Applications for our Creating Pathways programme are now closed for 2026.

You can still read all about the programme below and find out more about what the programme offers.
