Our Young Members lead the way

GCP Young Members

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.

Growing up can be tough, and here at GCP we recognise that certain factors, many beyond our control, can shape the types of experiences we have.

Whether it’s growing up with uncertainty, living with physical disabilities or coping with learning disabilities and neurodiversity, just to name a few, navigating these challenges while planning the rest of your life can be a monumental task…

That’s why we want to help!

GCP’s Approach

We aim to offer opportunities to young people so that they don’t have to embark on the journey to adulthood alone – through our programs, we seek to offer young people opportunities to learn practical and vocational skills, engage in hands-on, real world experiences to discover what interests them, and create lasting connections with peers in order to develop a strong sense of place within their community.

‘I really enjoyed the pre-apprenticeship. I met lovely people and learned loads of skills along the way. It helped me to socialise and get ready for the real world of working environment.’  Mishana
