Youth Membership
Our Youth Membership is designed to support young readers, poets and critics. It also puts them in touch with opportunities for young writers, keeps them in touch with what's happening in poetry and share writing with other young writers. Membership is open to anyone aged 11-18 and costs just £15.00 per year.
We have over two hundred youth members, including many past Foyle Young Poets of the Year Award winners and spoken word poets from the Slambassadors competition.
Youth Members are also invited to submit to YM our online magazine. Each edition has a theme and our members are invited to submit poetry, articles, reviews and illustration.
