We at You Press, a social enterprise supporting and engaging young people in the creative arts, are looking for writers, editors, graphic illustrators and website developers for our new project, ScribersHive, a unique platform aiming to connect young people to social issues, topics, stories and debates that matter to them. With high voter turnout among under 25s, the uncertainty of Brexit, and high profile debates around austerity, this is an invaluable space designed by and for young people to sustain and extend current debates.
Our ethos is about creating community cohesion, and a greater understanding of young people’s thoughts and opinions. We are contacting you to ask if you would consider forwarding this opportunity to your students, preferably in the form of the following job descriptions:
