Grow Your Potential with Youth Futures

Youth Futures is running at The Harris on Thursday 19 November, part of a weekly drop-in that's been going since 30 July. It's a support service for young people aged 16 to 18 who aren't quite sure what comes next. If you're in that bracket and feeling a bit stuck about what to do after school or college, this is exactly where you want to be.

The way it works is straightforward: it's an informal drop-in, so you just turn up and have a chat with a member of the Youth Futures team. They're there to offer advice and guidance on your next steps, whether that's looking at college, an apprenticeship, a job, or some training. There's no ticket to book and no appointment to make, so you can just pop in when it suits you.

And because it's at The Harris, you're not just getting the advice. The museum itself is free to enter, which means you can wander through the collections, the gallery and the library whenever you fancy. Throughout the school holidays, they run exhibitions, workshops, performances and family activities that mix internationally acclaimed art and illustration with hands-on creative work, so there's plenty to do around the building if you've got time to kill before or after your chat.

The session runs from 1pm to 3:30pm, and it's free to use. If you're between 16 and 18 and wondering where to go from here, just head to The Harris on Market Square, Preston, PR1 2PP.
