National Youth Theatre is offering over 500 young Londoners creative mentoring opportunities.
Combining NYT’s award-winning and industry-recognised training programmes with new focused support strands, young people will build skills, confidence, and networks that lead to creative careers.
Funded by the Greater London Authority New Deal for Young People, you will receive group mentoring from the National Youth Theatre team, our Associate Artists, and other industry professionals.
- Dates for each group are listed below.
- Some sessions are online, and some are in person at our NYT building in North London; please check the details below.

You must:

Rolling Recruitment
These opportunities are being filled on a rolling basis, so please apply as soon as possible for the collectives you are interested in. Collectives will close once they are full. We may be releasing more collectives soon. We will prioritise people who haven’t been part of a mentoring opportunity with NYT yet.
