What is the Coram Shakespeare Schools Foundation Youth Board?

For over 20 years our charity has delivered our flagship Theatre Festival projects, Creative Workshops and Outreach Programmes in schools, theatres and community spaces nationwide – now we have launched a new opportunity to make all the world a stage.

Our Youth Board will play a vital role in steering us into the future – meeting with our dedicated core team regularly to discuss ideas, help us to make important choices and to untangle big questions.

  • Do you have something to say?
  • Ideas you want to be communicated?
  • Want to shape our work across the UK?
  • If you are aged between 13 -16 years and based in the UK, our Youth Board could be just the thing you've been looking for. Click here or scroll down to register your interest and let your voice be heard!
