Become a Young Member
If you’re aged between 16-25 years and live in or near Edinburgh, you can become a Young Member of The Grassmarket Community Project. AND we’d love to meet you!
There are lots of opportunities for our Young Members, from our weekly Oot The Box sessions, to Got the Flow structure training, to our paid Apprenticeship and Pre-apprenticeship programme. We welcome all young people, and work in partnership with other local organisations and youth groups to deliver the best possible service.
Your next step
The starting point is to just get in touch and/or come and see us.
