Be part of shaping the creative landscape for Scotland’s young theatre-makers

During an exciting time of evolution of the organisation, as they prepare for their 50th anniversary in 2027, Scottish Youth Theatre are reflecting on the impact past, present and future, and working towards a more comprehensive creative offer for young theatre-makers across Scotland. They are seeking up to four new Board members who will join a committed Board and small, industrious staff team with big ambitions.
