Mission

FYA's mission is to use the arts as a means of developing the professional and life skills of young people.

FYA has developed two programmes that facilitate and support young people in designing, developing and delivering their own arts events. Our mobile youth arts programme was delivered in 5 London boroughs in 2007. This works on a local level with young people who want to learn how to promote and produce their own event. The artist development programme engages young people who are at the cusp of a professional career. In 2007 this group of young people delivered events in Trafalgar Square, Hackney Empire, Rich Mix, Jongleurs and Carling Academy Islington.

Structure

FYA is a charity run by a few individuals very determined to improving the opportunities for and respect given to the creative work of young people.
