We run a range of projects that benefit young people, youth groups, and their leaders.

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. In our development role we have identified and responded to gaps in provision, and provided participatory projects which have transformed young lives.
