Urban Youth isn't just another charity. We're a brand new youth community designed to change young people's lives in London. We're talking about giving them happy memories, creating lasting friendships, and building the essential skills they'll need for adulthood. We want to provide opportunities and experiences they simply won't get anywhere else.

But to do that, we need to be seen, heard, and remembered. We need a visual identity that screams "cool," "modern," and "inspiring"—one that speaks directly to young people aged 11-19 years old in London.

That's where you come in.

We're looking for you to help us create an exciting youthful brand that attracts young people aged 11 to 19 years old in London to be part of this new youth work community. We're looking for a volunteer Graphic Designer who wants to be a founding creative force behind Urban Youth. You won't just design our brand; you'll help define our future.

• A Complete Brand Guide: You'll help us develop the visual language we'll use across all our platforms—from our website and social media to our promotional materials and merchandise.

• The Foundation of Our Visual Story: Every graphic, every colour, every font choice you make will help us attract the young people and community partners we need to succeed.

If you would like to help us build a whole brand, we will then move on to the design of;

• Social Media Posts: Promoting Urban Youth, our Projects and activities and encouraging people to volunteer, donate, join us, support us or get involved in other ways.
• Website Branded Images: To help keep our website in our branding design so that we are recognisable.
• Roller Banners/Posters: Promoting Urban Youth, our Projects and activities and encouraging people to volunteer, donate, join us, support us or get involved in other ways.

This is a unique opportunity to build YOUR portfolio with real-world impact. You'll gain experience working with a dynamic start-up, collaborating with passionate founders, and creating a brand that has the power to inspire thousands. Your work will be a key part of our journey from a small start-up to a registered charity that changes lives. We'll also even write a testimony or reference for you as a thank you for your help and support to help us on our journey to success with young people across London.
