Comics Youth was founded in 2015 and is a creative community organisation led by young people, for young people. Our aim is to empower youth across Merseyside to flourish from the margins of society: Harnessing their own narratives, finding confidence within an inclusive community, and developing the resilience to succeed on their own path.

We offer a range of services designed to support and amplify the often diminished voices of marginalised young people aged 8 - 25. From zine creation and comic book workshops to youth-led publishing hubs and social campaigns, we believe young people deserve to have their voices discovered, distributed, and elevated.

Check out our Core Projects and Open Call-outs to see what you can get involved in!
