The Cultural Leaders Youth Employment Scheme started in September 2021 and opens up every six months for six young people, aged between 18 and 30 year.

It provides those who have been hit hardest by the pandemic with paid employment and experience in the creative industries.

Successful applicants, known as cultural leaders, will work with the London-based charities Poetic Unity, Black Cultural Archives and Theatre Peckham. 

The cultural leaders will oversee the running of poetry workshops and events, whilst also providing support for the community and learning the daily operations of the charity they are designated to.
