Job description
URBAN YOUTH NEEDS A COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT & PARTICIPATION LEAD
BRING THE PEOPLE, BUILD THE MOVEMENT
URBAN YOUTH is a brand‑new, street‑level youth work charity with the energy of a start‑up and the heart of a community movement. We’re here to create something young people want to be part of, something vibrant, exciting, and rooted in the places they call home.
To make that happen, we need a Community Engagement & Participation Lead who can connect with young people, families, local groups, and neighbourhoods, and bring them into the Urban Youth movement.
If you’re a people‑person with passion, energy, and a love for community, this role is for you.
THE ROLE: COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT & PARTICIPATION LEAD (VOLUNTEER)
We’re looking for someone who can take the lead on:
-
Engaging young people in the community and inviting them into Urban Youth
-
Building relationships with families, local residents, grassroots groups, and community leaders
-
Creating pathways for young people to participate in our drops, activities, and events
-
Listening to the community and bringing their voices into our planning
-
Helping shape a youth movement that feels real, relevant, and rooted in local culture
-
Representing Urban Youth at community events, meetings, and local spaces
Your mission: Make Urban Youth a name young people recognise, trust, and want to be part of.
WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS
Urban Youth is a start‑up, and community is everything.
Your work will:
-
Help us reach young people who need us most
-
Build trust and visibility in local neighbourhoods
-
Ensure our drops and activities are shaped by real voices
-
Create a sense of belonging and ownership
-
Help us get off the ground ASAP
You’ll be the bridge between Urban Youth and the communities we serve.
WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR
Someone who is:
-
A natural connector — friendly, open, and great with people
-
Passionate about youth work and community empowerment
-
Confident engaging with young people in real‑world spaces
-
Comfortable being out in the community, not just behind a desk
-
Organised, proactive, and full of initiative
-
Excited to help build a start‑up charity from the ground up
-
Ready to help us launch and grow fast
You don’t need formal experience, just heart, energy, and the ability to build relationships.
WHY JOIN URBAN YOUTH NOW
Because this is the moment everything is being created.
You’ll be part of the founding team. You’ll help shape our culture, our reach, and our community presence. You’ll help build a youth charity that feels modern, bold, and culturally relevant. And you’ll be part of a movement that young people can trust and feel proud of.
READY TO BRING THE COMMUNITY IN?
If you’re excited by the idea of connecting with people, building relationships, and helping young people feel part of something unique, we want to hear from you.
Let’s build a community that lifts young people up.
