Student Reps Scheme
We have a number of volunteers from around the UK who are part of our Student Reps Scheme, who complete various tasks to spread the word about the company and their own experiences on our projects. In exchange, our reps get great experience and a special Reps pack.

The Leverhulme Trust Training Bursaries
During summer of 2008, YMT made sixteen bursary training places available for recent graduates or those in their second or third year of higher education wishing to gain work experience on music theatre projects working with young people. Click here for more details - please note the deadline for 2008 has now passed. These positions have been kindly funded by a  grant from the Leverhulme Trust.

Scripts
Although a great deal of the company's work is devised, we will look at book/librettos and listen to CD's of new work where possible. We are currently setting up a panel of readers to undertake this work. If you wish to submit material, please send it to the office marked 'Script' and we will put it in a queue to be read. Please note that this may take a substantial amount of time, particularly over the summer months.

Freelance Staff
If you are a practitioner please feel free to send us your CV by e-mail to mail@ymtuk.org
Please make clear any special skills you may have, including any relating to working with less advantaged or challenging young people. Please note that due to the volume of CVs that we receive, it is not always possible for us to reply. However, your details will be kept on file for future projects.
