How does Young Leaders work?

Our Young Leaders group meet every other Wednesday, 6 - 7:30pm on Zoom. As meetings predominantly take place online, the group is open to young people across the North East.

When meetings do occasionally take place in-person (often in the summer months when we are working towards an event), we can provide travel support and cover costs. 

There will also be opportunities for you to organise trips as a group (e.g. to see a theatre show, visit an art exhibition or festival, meet an activist, or attend events like Northumberland Pride).
