We have a range of supports in place that aim to strengthen the youth theatre sector in Scotland.

As youth theatre has evolved as a practice and an art form in Scotland, YTAS has listened to the changing needs and aspirations of its sector. We have a vibrant community of youth theatre organisations across the country, and YTAS is here to support them to reach their full potential through our Membership Development Programme, sector training, and much more.

Led by our partners at Education Support, the EAP offers  our freelance members access to a free and confidential support and guidance service that will help them deal with any personal issues which might impact work, health, or wellbeing.

YTAS exists to support our members and starting in 2023, our support offer will become even more bespoke, with a new portal of online resources, and Membership Support Coordinator.
