Graphic designer for logo design volunteer volunteer roles

Volunteer Graphic Designer (Founding Phase)

Shape the visual identity of a brand‑new youth movement in inner London.

Urban Youth is a new youth work charity with a bold mission: to help young people step away from digital isolation and rediscover real‑world connection, confidence, and possibility.

We’re building a charity that feels fresh, vibrant, youthful, and unmistakably alive—a brand that speaks directly to young people aged 11–19 across inner London.

To bring this vision to life, we’re seeking a Volunteer Graphic Designer who can craft our logo, visual identity, and brand guidelines from the ground up.

This is your chance to create the look and feel of a movement.

Why this role matters

Urban Youth is at the very beginning of its journey. The brand you create will become the face of everything we do—our programmes, our events, our social media, our partnerships, and the way young people experience us.

Your work will help Urban Youth feel:

• Fresh and Modern.

• Youthful and Energetic.

• Safe, Warm, and Welcoming.

• Aspirational and Empowering.

• Rooted in the culture and vibrancy of inner London.

This is more than design. It’s identity. It’s belonging. It’s the first impression that tells a young person: this place is for you.

Your Role as Volunteer Graphic Designer

Working closely with the founding team, you will:

• Create Urban Youth’s first official logo.

• Develop a full brand identity that feels modern, vibrant, and youth‑centred.

• Produce brand guidelines that ensure consistency across all platforms.

• Shape colour palettes, typography, iconography, and visual tone.

• Help us understand what resonates with young people aged 11–19 in inner London.

• Support the creation of early promotional materials and digital assets.

Your creative vision will help define how Urban Youth is seen, felt, and remembered.

Who We’re Looking For

You don’t need decades of experience—just talent, creativity, and a passion for youth‑centred design.

We’d love to hear from people who:

• Have experience in graphic design, branding, or visual communication.

• Understand youth culture, trends, and aesthetics.

• Can create bold, modern, and energetic visuals.

• Are excited by the idea of building a brand from scratch.

• Want their work to have real social impact.

• Can collaborate warmly and bring ideas to life with clarity and flair.

If you’re a student, early‑career designer, or creative professional looking for a meaningful project to showcase your skills, this is a perfect opportunity.

This is your chance to design a legacy

As our founding Graphic Designer, your work will shape how thousands of young people experience Urban Youth. You’ll create a brand that inspires confidence, sparks curiosity, and feels unmistakably now.

If you want your creativity to matter—to help build a movement that restores connection, community, and hope—this is your moment.

Let’s build a brand that helps young people step into life—not scroll past it.
