Theatre Skills Training
Are there specific theatre skills that your youth theatre members could benefit from that you as a facilitator don't have the skills to deliver? Just indentify the skill and facilitator to deliver the training and NAYD will support up to four sessions for your youth theatre. In 2011 NAYD will offer this support to two youth theatres.

Drama Facilitation Support
Do you ever just need time off from your youth theatre to re-charge your batteries or do you need someone to relieve a facilitator over a few weeks. NAYD will support up to four sessions of relief drama facilitation in your youth theatre. Applications accepted on an on-going basis until fund is exhausted.
