How it works

Support young people, then get out of the way

We support young people through a variety of programmes and give them access to freelance opportunities where they can apply and develop their skills further.

We've supported young people of all backgrounds, who have found their creative home in You Press and each other. So come meet us and join the community.

Partners

We couldn't do it alone

We wouldn't be able to carry out our mission without our partners. Each partner supports You Press in a different way — and we'd love to hear from any organisation that likes what we do and wants to work with us.
