Job description

We're recruiting on behalf of our partners at MINDSET.

VOLUNTEER GRAPHIC DESIGNER (MINDSET Charity) - REMOTE

Help Us Launch a Movement This November

MINDSET is a bold new preventative mental fitness charity for teenage boys and men in London — and we’re launching this November. We’re building a modern, high‑energy, stigma‑free space where men learn the habits, systems, and psychological tools to stay strong long before crisis hits.

To bring this mission to life, we need a creative powerhouse — a Graphic Designer who can help us shape the visual identity of a charity built to feel more like a fitness brand than a traditional organisation.

If you want your work to matter, to inspire, and to change lives, this is your moment.

THE ROLE: GRAPHIC DESIGNER (Volunteer)

We’re looking for a designer who can help us create a suite of high‑impact visuals that will define our launch. You’ll be part of a small, passionate team building something genuinely needed in London.

You’ll help us design:

Roller Banners for school programmes and community events.
Merchandise (t‑shirts, hoodies, wristbands, stickers).
Launch Graphics for November 2026.
Social Media Assets that feel modern, bold, and motivational.
Printed Materials (flyers, posters, guides and booklets).
Digital Templates for our 12‑week mental fitness programme.
Brand Elements that strengthen our identity and message.

Your work will be seen by schools, partners, funders, teenage boys, and men across London — and will directly support our mission to prevent silent suffering and build stronger futures.

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

You don’t need decades of experience. You don’t need agency credentials. You just need skill, passion, and a desire to build something meaningful.

We’re looking for someone who:

Loves creating clean, modern, bold designs.
Can work with brand guidelines (or help us refine them).
Enjoys fast‑paced, start‑up style collaboration.
Wants their work to have real social impact.
Can commit a few hours a week between now and November.
Is excited by the idea of shaping a charity’s visual identity from day one.

If you’re the kind of designer who gets fired up by purpose‑driven projects, you’ll fit right in.

WHY JOIN MINDSET?

1. Because your designs will change lives.

Every banner, every graphic, every piece of merchandise helps us reach boys and men who desperately need preventative support.

2. Because we operate like a modern brand.

Think Gymshark, Huel, or MyProtein — clean lines, bold messaging, high energy. Not clinical. Not corporate. Not outdated.

3. Because you’ll be part of a founding team.

Your creativity will help define how MINDSET looks, feels, and communicates for years to come.

4. Because this is meaningful work.

We’re building a movement that exists to stop preventable tragedies. Your designs will help us reach the men who need us most.

WHAT YOU’LL GET

A chance to build a full brand suite for a new charity.
Portfolio‑ready work with real‑world impact.
A supportive, energetic team who value creativity.
Flexible volunteering you can fit around your life.
The satisfaction of knowing your work is helping save lives.

JOIN US.

HELP US LAUNCH MINDSET.

HELP US CHANGE THE STORY FOR MEN AND BOYS IN LONDON.

If you’re ready to use your creativity for something powerful, we’d love to hear from you.

Job description

About Roots Academy.

Roots Academy’s Vision.

A generation of young Muslims who embody and promote a God-centred way of life.

At Roots Academy, we’ve built a learning experience that’s changing the lives of the ummah’s future leaders, change-makers and visionaries. Our Mission is to deliver a structured and transformative education in the Essentials of Islam in a way that lowers barriers to access, develops a deep certainty, and inspires action.

Why Does Roots Academy Exist?

Crisis of Faith: 1 in 4 young Muslims are leaving the religion due to various factors, primarily the pervasive anti-religious content and temptations they encounter online and offline.

Roots Academy exists to bridge this gap by providing a structured and transformative Islamic education that speaks directly to the needs and challenges of young Muslims today, delivered in an engaging and accessible form that removes barriers to access and provokes thought and action.

Role Summary.

As a Graphic Designer, you will be instrumental in shaping the visual identity of Roots Academy UK. From designing educational resources and social media assets to crafting digital campaigns and event materials, your work will ensure our content reflects excellence, clarity, and spiritual depth. You will help bring Islamic learning to life through purposeful, polished, and impactful design.

Key tasks

Design Development: Create visually compelling graphics for use across social media, email, web, presentations, and print.
Brand Consistency: Ensure all visual materials align with Roots Academy’s brand guidelines and Islamic values.
Content Support: Collaborate with the social media and education teams to translate ideas and scripts into polished, engaging visuals.
Template Creation: Build easy-to-edit templates for internal teams to use (e.g., Canva or Google Slides).
Trend Awareness: Stay up to date on design and content trends, especially within the faith-based and youth development space.
Project Management: Maintain organised design files and deliver work in a timely manner.

What we’re looking for

Strong design portfolio demonstrating creativity, clarity, and alignment with brand guidelines.
Experience using tools like Canva, Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, or Figma.
Attention to detail and a strong sense of layout, typography, and visual hierarchy.
Ability to take direction while contributing creative input.
A deep understanding of Islamic values and visual modesty in design.
Experience designing for social media platforms (Instagram, YouTube, TikTok).
Excellent communication and time-management skills.

What we have to offer

Be part of a team of 100+ dedicated volunteers across the UK, Ireland, Canada, US, UAE and Australia.
Receive continuous rewards for those that seek Islamic knowledge from the Roots platform.
Be a part of a growing organisation that aims to revive and educate Muslims from a grassroots perspective.
Professional development and practical experience in design and digital marketing.
Receive in-house tarbiyah (personal & spiritual development) sessions to develop your deen.

Please note this is an unpaid volunteer position.
