The National Youth Arts Trust is a small arts charity that exists to widen access to the performing arts for young people from disadvantaged backgrounds. It does this through the awarding of bursaries for music, dance and drama lessons, developing and running youth theatre projects in areas of low arts provision, and enabling children to attend professional theatre performances, often for the first time.
Our vision is to see a diverse and inclusive performing arts sector that nurtures talent from any background. We work hard to ensure that talented young people are not at risk of being excluded from training in the arts because of lack of finances.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions about the vacancy.
