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:

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

• 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.

We’re seeking committed new trustees to help guide a small but ambitious charity supporting children and young people with cerebral palsy, ensuring our funds deliver meaningful, life-changing impact.

Our Board is made up of a small, committed group of trustees who bring a mix of professional expertise and personal connection to our cause. Together, we oversee a grant-making charity that has a long heritage and a clear ambition: to increase our income and ensure we can support more children and young people with cerebral palsy in meaningful, practical ways.

Like many small charities, our challenge is balancing strong governance with growth. We are financially stable and well run, but we want to think more strategically about our future: how we prioritise funding, how we grow awareness and income, and how we ensure every grant we make delivers real, lasting benefit for families. The new trustee will play an active role in shaping these conversations and helping the Board move confidently from steady state to sustainable growth.

The role is hands-on and collaborative. Trustees are expected to attend four board meetings a year, contribute thoughtfully to discussion and decision-making, and engage between meetings when specific issues arise. Depending on interest and experience, the new trustee may also be invited to take a lead role in an area of work or join a small working group, for example around fundraising development, investment oversight, or grant assessment.

This is an opportunity to influence how limited charitable funds are used where they matter most. Trustees are directly involved in decisions that enable children to access therapy, specialist equipment, and support that may not otherwise be available. For someone who wants to make a tangible difference, this is a role where your contribution can be clearly seen in the lives of the children and families we support.

The Board values open discussion, shared responsibility, and a supportive culture, making this an especially rewarding role for someone who wants their time and judgement to have genuine impact.
