More than just writing
A Platform for Young Voices
Every young person has a story to tell. Leeds Young Authors provides the guidance, community, and opportunities for those stories to be heard. Our programs are designed to encourage confidence, nurture creativity, and prepare young people for success, academically, professionally and personally.
Safe spaces to explore, express & evolve
Creative Journeys with Lasting Impact
Through workshops, mentorship, and performances, we empower young people to embrace creativity in all its forms. Whether it’s storytelling, spoken word or performance, our approach is about more than teaching, it’s about unlocking self-belief and opening doors to possibility.
“Words create worlds. Young people deserve the chance to build theirs.”
