Want to be our next Cultural Leader?

Applications open for third cohort of Cultural Leaders.

The Cultural Leaders Youth Employment Scheme provides paid work for 6 young people (aged 18-30 years old) every 6 months with London charities Poetic Unity @PoeticUnity, Theatre Peckham @TheatrePeckham and Black Cultural Archives @BCAHeritage. The scheme which is part of the Poetic Relief Project funded by the National Lottery Community Fund gives young people real on the job experience in the charity and art sectors.

The Cultural Leaders will run poetry workshops, events, provide support for the community and learn about the daily operations of the charity they are designated too.

The first cohort of Cultural Leaders started in September 2021, and they have been a great success! The Cultural Leaders have helped each charity extend their impact and they have learnt transferable skills they can use for future employment.

The future Cultural Leaders will have a passion for supporting the community and making a positive change in society. You will need strong interpersonal skills as you will be responsible for supporting and communicating with a large number of young people from a variety of backgrounds. Experience in youth work and leading workshops preferred but not essential as training will be provided.

Applications are now open for the third cohort of Cultural Leaders who will start on September 6th 2022.
