Become a Young Member

GCP Young Members Programme provides opportunities for young adults to learn, grow and build positive futures.

If you’re aged between 16-30 years and live in or near Edinburgh, you can become a Young Member of The Grassmarket Community Project.

All ages are welcome at GCP, but we understand that our young people often have different needs, interests and experiences. GCP’s Young Members Programme helps you connect with peers, build core skills, expand your horizons and access supported volunteering employment opportunities.

Also, as members, you can access GCP’s Members Programme, a wide range of free, weekly activities, with the option of joining us for a free, two course lunch when you sign up. You don’t need to commit to any activity for any length of time. Instead, you can join activities when suits you best. Try something new with no strings attached, as we encourage you to branch out and grow in you own way!
