                                Search for a youth theatre or youth drama facilitator for your class or youth group.

                                The Youth Theatre Facilitators Directory aims to facilitate quick and efficient matching of youth theatre facilitators with individuals or organizations in need of their services.

All the facilitators listed here are recognised professionals with accredited qualifications and training, experience and a passion for working with young people.

                                Employers have a legal obligation to comply with Children First Legislation, and make sure they Garda Vet people and check references before offering them a contract to work with under 18s or vulnerable people.

                                Any employment taking place in the jurisdiction of Northern Ireland, must adhere to Child Protection and Welfare legislation in that jurisdiction.
