URBAN YOUTH — REMOTE VOLUNTEERS WANTED FOR OUR LAUNCH CREW
Help build a street‑level movement from behind the scenes.
Urban Youth is a brand new start‑up charity bringing street-based youth work, pop-ups, and high‑energy support to young people across London. We’re taking over unused spaces, showing up where teens actually are, and building fast, flexible provision that feels more like a drop than a service.
But before we hit the streets, we need a remote crew — the architects, organisers, creatives, and problem-solvers who can help us get launch‑ready.
If you want to be part of something bold from day one, this is your moment.
Join the Remote Founding Team
These roles are perfect for people who want to contribute from home, around work, study, or life. No long-term commitment, just meaningful, high-impact tasks that help us get Urban Youth off the ground.
We’re looking for:
Admin & Operations Support Help us build the systems, processes, and foundations that keep a start-up charity running smoothly.
Research & Development Volunteers Map youth needs, explore unused spaces, identify partners, and help shape our early strategy.

Communications & Social Media Support Help us build our online presence, write copy, schedule posts, and amplify our mission.
Fundraising & Bid Support Assist with research, drafting, and shaping early funding applications to fuel our launch.
Project & Planning Assistants Work with our leadership team to organise tasks, timelines, and launch milestones.
Why Volunteer Remotely With Urban Youth?
Because you’ll be part of the origin story — the team that existed before the pop-ups, before the street teams, before the noise.
You’ll help create:
The systems that make our street work possible
The brand identity young people will recognise
The strategy that guides our first year
The momentum that turns an idea into a movement
Volunteering with us means:
Flexible, remote tasks
Short-term, high-impact opportunities
Being part of a founding crew
Real influence on how Urban Youth takes shape
A chance to build something meaningful for young people who need it most
If you’ve ever wanted to help build a charity from the ground up — this is your chance.
Urban Youth is gearing up for launch. We need remote volunteers who can bring energy, creativity, and commitment from wherever they are.
Apply now and join the behind‑the‑scenes crew powering our launch.
