MANAGING DIRECTOR WANTED

BUILD THE MOVEMENT. LEAD THE SQUAD. CHANGE THE GAME.

URBAN YOUTH isn’t just a charity — it’s a startup youth movement built from raw energy, street culture, and the belief that young people deserve experiences that hit different. We’re small, scrappy, and unapologetically ambitious.

And now we’re searching for a Managing Director who’s ready to help us turn this spark into a wildfire.

This Is Not Your Typical MD Role

• No big budgets.
• No endless staff teams.
• No corporate safety nets.

Just vision, hustle, and the drive to build something powerful from almost nothing.

Urban Youth is a pop‑up youth work charity (like a streetwear drop), creative jams, community takeovers, and high‑impact experiences that feel more like culture than “services.” We’re building a youth movement that’s loud, urban, and real.

We need someone who can help us take this raw potential and scale it into something unforgettable.

What You’ll Lead

You’ll be the strategic force behind Urban Youth — shaping our direction, building our foundations, and helping us grow from a startup idea into a city‑wide movement.

You’ll help us:

• Build partnerships from scratch

• Create opportunities with minimal resources

• Turn creative chaos into sustainable impact

• Grow our squad, our reach, and our influence

• Make sure our pop‑ups hit hard and keep evolving

This is leadership in its purest form — no red tape, no grey areas, just vision, grit, and action.

Who You Are

1. You’re entrepreneurial.
2. You’re resourceful.
3. You’re the kind of person who sees a blank space and imagines a whole community event happening there.
4. You thrive in startup energy — fast decisions, big ideas, and making things happen with whatever you’ve got.
5. You don’t wait for permission.
6. You don’t need perfect conditions.
7. You build anyway.

If you’ve ever said, “Give me a mission and I’ll make it real,” you’re exactly who we want.

Why Urban Youth?

• Because we’re creating something new. Something bold. Something that doesn’t look like traditional youth work.
• We’re building a movement that feels like culture — not charity. A squad. A vibe. A community.

As Managing Director, you won’t just run an organisation. You’ll help create one.

You’ll shape the identity, the energy, and the future of Urban Youth from the ground up.

Ready to build something huge?

1. If you want to lead with purpose…
2. If you want to create impact without waiting for permission…
3. If you want to help build a youth movement that’s raw, urban, and unforgettable…

Urban Youth needs you.

Step up. Join the squad. Let’s build something massive.

CREATIVE DIRECTOR WANTED

JOIN THE SQUAD. CHANGE THE CULTURE. IGNITE THE STREETS.

URBAN YOUTH isn’t your typical youth charity. We don’t do clipboards, corporate jargon or endless meetings.

1. We do impact.
2. We do energy.
3. We do urban culture brought to life.

And right now, we’re calling out for a Creative Director who’s ready to step into the heart of it.

Step Into a Role That Actually Means Something

This isn’t a desk job. This is a movement. Urban Youth will run high‑energy pop‑up youth work (like a streetwear drop), creative takeovers, community jams, and raw, real opportunities for young people who deserve more than the system usually gives them.

We’re building a community. A vibe. A family. And we need someone who can shape the look, feel and soul of it.

What You’ll Do

1. You’ll be the creative engine behind everything we do — the visuals, the storytelling, the experiences, the culture.
2. You’ll help us design moments that young people feel in their chest. Moments that make them say, “Yo, Urban Youth is different.”
3. You’ll bring ideas that hit hard.
4. You’ll help us build a brand that’s loud, bold and unapologetically urban.
5. You’ll make creativity accessible to young people who’ve been told they don’t belong in those spaces.

Who You Are

• You’re a creator. A visionary. A culture‑builder.
• Someone who sees potential everywhere — in a blank wall, a beat‑up basketball court, a group of young people hanging out after school.
• You don’t need a fancy title or a portfolio full of agency work.
• You just need passion, imagination, and the guts to try things that haven’t been done before.

If you’ve ever thought, “I want to do something real. Something that matters.” This is it.

Why Join Urban Youth?

• Because we’re not waiting for permission.
• We’re not drowning in red tape.
• We’re not ticking boxes.
• We’re out here to create real experiences, real connections, real change — one pop‑up at a time.
• You’ll be part of a squad that backs each other, pushes boundaries, and builds community with raw authenticity.

Ready to roll?

1. If your creativity is itching for a purpose…
2. If you want to be part of something that feels alive…
3. If you want to help shape a youth movement that’s loud, proud and rooted in the streets…

Urban Youth wants you.

Step up. Join the squad. Let’s build something unforgettable.

HR & VOLUNTEERING DIRECTOR WANTED

BUILD THE CULTURE. GROW THE SQUAD. SHAPE THE MOVEMENT.

URBAN YOUTH is a startup pop‑up youth work charity — raw, energetic, and built from pure passion. We’re creating high‑impact youth experiences that feel more like street culture and a street wear drop, than traditional youth work.

No red tape. No corporate vibes. Just community, creativity, and real opportunities for young people.

Now we need a HR & Volunteering Director who can help us build the backbone of this movement — the people, the systems, the culture, the squad.

This Role Is About People, Purpose, and Building Something From Scratch

Urban Youth is small but mighty. We’re a start-up, and we need someone who can help us turn our volunteer energy into a powerhouse team.

You’ll be the architect of our people strategy — designing how we recruit, onboard, support, and empower the passionate humans who make Urban Youth come alive.

This isn’t HR in a corporate office. This is HR in a startup youth movement. It’s messy, creative, exciting, and full of possibility.

What You’ll Build

You’ll help us create:

• A volunteer recruitment pipeline that attracts talent, passion, and drive

• Onboarding experiences that feel like joining a squad, not filling out forms

• Systems and processes that keep us organised without killing our vibe

• A culture where volunteers feel valued, connected, and part of something bigger

• A community of people who show up because they believe in what we’re doing

You’ll be the person who helps us turn “we need help” into “we’ve built a team.”

Who You Are

1. You’re entrepreneurial.
2. You’re resourceful.
3. You’re the kind of person who can build a structure out of thin air and make it feel solid.
4. You understand people — what motivates them, what inspires them, what keeps them committed.
5. You know how to spot talent, nurture passion, and bring out the best in a team.
6. You’re not scared of starting from zero.
7. You thrive in environments where you get to create the blueprint, not follow one.

If you’ve ever said, “Give me a mission and I’ll build the team to deliver it,” this is your moment.

Why Urban Youth?

1. Because we’re building something bold. Something fresh. Something that doesn’t look like anything else in youth work.
2. We’re a startup charity with big dreams and tiny resources — which means your impact will be huge.
3. You won’t just manage people; you’ll shape the culture, the community, and the future of Urban Youth.
4. You’ll help build the squad that builds the movement.
