Graphic Designer – VOLUNTEER

Flexible Hours | Remote | Start‑Up Youth Social Mobility Charity

About REMIX

REMIX is a start‑up, youth‑led social mobility charity transforming young lives across London. Based in Shoreditch, we empower young people from disadvantaged backgrounds across London to unlock their potential, build confidence, and develop essential life skills through nurturing mentorship, inspiring role models, and transformative opportunities.

We’re in the exciting early stages of building something bold, vibrant, and community‑powered — and we’re looking for a Graphic Designer (Volunteer) who can help bring REMIX’s visual identity to life and put us firmly on the map.

The Role

We are seeking a creative, energetic, and impact‑driven Graphic Designer (Volunteer) to help shape REMIX’s visual presence across digital and print. This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who loves designing for purpose, enjoys youth‑focused branding, and wants to help build the look and feel of a movement from the ground up.

You will work closely with the Founder and wider team, to create bold, exciting, and culturally relevant designs that amplify REMIX’s voice across London.

Time commitment: FLEXIBLE & REMOTE, including:

• Design briefs and creative sessions

• Digital and print asset creation

• Occasional collaboration with leadership and volunteers

Key Responsibilities

As Graphic Designer (Volunteer), you will:

• Create impactful digital and print materials that increase brand awareness and excitement around REMIX.

• Design posters, social media graphics, flyers, banners, campaign visuals, and other creative assets.

• Bring REMIX’s brand guidelines to life with consistency, creativity, and youth‑friendly energy.

• Support the development of visual storytelling that highlights our mission, programmes, and impact.

• Help shape the visual identity of a start‑up charity with big ambitions.

• Ensure all designs feel vibrant, accessible, and aligned with our values of empowerment, equity, compassion, and inspiration.

This role blends creativity, branding, youth culture, and movement‑building — perfect for someone who wants their work to spark excitement and visibility.

What We’re Looking For

You don’t need years of experience — we welcome emerging designers, students, freelancers, and creatives looking to build their portfolio. What matters most is your creativity, your passion, and your ability to design with purpose.

We’re looking for someone who is:

• Passionate about social mobility, youth empowerment, and fairness.

• Creative, bold, and excited by designing for a youth‑led movement.

• Confident using design tools (e.g., Canva, Adobe Suite, Figma — whatever you prefer).

• Able to work collaboratively but also independently on briefs.

• Organised, reliable, and committed to our mission.

• Compassionate, emotionally intelligent, and community‑minded.

Experience with branding, social media design, or campaign visuals is beneficial — but not essential if you bring strong creative instincts and a willingness to learn.

Why Join REMIX?

• Play a central role in shaping the visual identity of a start‑up charity with huge potential.

• Help build a movement that champions equity, compassion, and opportunity.

• See your designs used across London to inspire young people and supporters.

• Work with passionate Trustees and volunteers who care deeply about young people.

• Build your portfolio with real‑world, high‑impact creative work.

• Make a meaningful, lasting difference in the lives of young Londoners.

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

CLOSING DATE: Monday 30th March 2026, before 5pm
