A Platform for Aspiring Leaders

Our partnership with Warwick Arts Centre provides an exciting opportunity for aspiring young leaders with a passion for the arts. Each year, a group of young people come together to develop their leadership skills while curating the summer exhibition at the centre. Working alongside local and national artists, they refine their talents, gain industry insights, and experience live performances. As part of this collaboration, we recognise their hard work by providing vouchers as a token of appreciation for their dedication and contributions.

What is the Youth Leadership Collective?

Warwick Arts Centre are thrilled to be delivering a new Youth Leadership Programme in partnership with YMCA Heart of England and Positive Youth Foundation. The Youth Leadership Collective is designed to be an open and creative space for young people aged 15 – 22 to work on shaping their leadership skills while using social activism creatively to call for change.

The YLC is made up of 9 young people who call Coventry home. They each have unique voices, different lived experiences and distinctive viewpoints. They discuss hopes and ambitions, worries and frustrations and they support each other in weekly sessions where they digest the ins and outs of what it means to be a young person in Coventry today.

I have had the best weekend; the support from YMCA has been second to none. I have been looked after from the beginning of my fundraising right through to the post-race reception where I was greeted by happy faces, a hot cup of coffee, snacks and a much needed sports massage. Thank you YMCA for the kindness you have shown me on this weekend!
