The Cultural Leaders Programme is a youth employment and leadership programme designed to support Black young people to develop the skills, confidence and experience needed to build meaningful careers within the charity and cultural sectors.

We’re proud to re-launch the Cultural Leaders programme for a further three years, providing 15 Black young people 12-month, part-time employment placements with us here at Poetic Unity 🙌
