English National Youth Arts Network (Enyan) has launched a free online resource which aims to raise the profile of and support the youth arts sector in the development of leadership skills, aspiration and potential of young people within the arts and cultural industries - sitting alongside the wider National Youth Agency led National Body for Youth Leadership.

Young Arts Leaders presented the findings of the network's research into this rapid area of development. The online resource includes practical case studies sharing learning from projects across the country, policy developments, funding opportunities, signposting to a whole host of valuable contacts and support and a breakdown of the range of programmes and opportunities available including; accreditation, volunteering, work-related learning, innovation and entrepreneurship, peer-mentoring, youth voice and influence and many more.

Anna Rubycz, Enyan's development manager, said: "The young people we work with today are the practitioners, policy makers and professionals of tomorrow and with recent investment from government, there are now a number of new ways the Youth Arts sector can help to nurture young people's development. Young Arts Leaders is jam-packed full of essential information for anyone looking to develop young cultural leaders of the future. From practice to policy level there is something here to support you in your work."
