Programme manager volunteer volunteer roles

WANTED: THE ARCHITECT.

ROLE: VOLUNTEER CEO | MISSION: LEAD THE DROP.

URBAN YOUTH isn’t a community centre. We don’t have four walls, and we don’t wait for permission. We are a high-octane, street-based intervention brand. We drop youth work like limited-edition trainers—mobile, agile, and high-impact.

We’ve got the vision. We’ve got the street cred. Now, we need the Power.

We are looking for a Volunteer CEO to be the engine behind the movement. This isn't a "sit-in-the-office" role. This is for the visionary who wants to build a legacy from the pavement up.

Your KPIs:

• THE DRIVE: Leading the strategic "Deployment Map" for our city-wide drops.

• THE POWER: Securing the fuel (funding and partnerships) to keep the van moving.

• THE VOICE: Being the face of URBAN YOUTH to stakeholders, donors, and the industry.

• THE BUILD: Scaling our "Pop-Up" model from a local intervention to a national blueprint.

Who you are:

• Unstoppable Energy: You have the "Founder & Entrepreneur Mentality." You see a brick wall and find a way over it.

• Business Brain, Street Heart: You understand high-level strategy but can talk to a 16-year-old on a street corner with zero ego.

• Networker: You know how to open doors that others find locked.

• Disruptor: You’re bored of "traditional" youth work. You want to change the game.

What you'll do:

• Own the Brand: Total creative and strategic freedom to shape the future of URBAN YOUTH.

• The Crew: Leading a team of elite "Field Agents" and creatives.

• The Impact: Direct, visible change in the streets of London.

• The Legacy: Building a brand that young people actually want to wear and be a part of.

READY TO DEPLOY?

We don't want a 10-page CV. We want to know your DRIVE.

TO APPLY:

Send us a 60-second "Pitch" video or a 1-page "Vision Manifest" to show us how you’re going to power the next drop.

Monitoring, evaluation and learning coordinators wanted to help East London Waterworks Park deliver its environmental learning goals. 

East London Waterworks Park is a volunteer-led charity that has won a 2024 New London Architecture award and raised £2m towards buying land from the Department for Education to transform the 14-acre Thames Water Depot on Lea Bridge Road on the border of Waltham Forest and Hackney, into a new biodiverse park with natural swimming ponds, forest schools and community spaces. 

We are looking for a volunteer to track the impact of our educational initiatives, gather data, and support continuous improvement in our learning programs. This role ensures that our learning activities are effective and contribute meaningfully to ELWP’s overarching goals.

This role would include:

• Developing measures of success of existing environmental education initiatives
• Collecting and analyzing feedback from programme participants
• Recommending improvements based on data insights

Schools, universities and youth groups we've collaborated with include:

• Waltham Forest College 
• Henry Maynard Primary School, Walthamstow
• Buxton School, Leytonstone
• Kingsmead Primary School, Hackney
• Daubeney Primary School, Hackney
• UCL 
• Royal College of Art
• University of Westminster 
• Project Zero
• Voyage Youth 
• Loyola University Chicago 
• Vanderbilt University Nashville

The Learning Circle currently meets monthly on a Wednesday evening at 8pm for an hour on Google Meet and spends voluntary time outside of the meeting completing agreed tasks remotely.

We're looking for people to lead on these projects and facilitate the direction of the learning working group.

Individuals with experience in research, programme evaluation, data analysis, or education assessment are encouraged to apply. Attention to detail and an interest in measuring impact will be key strengths in this role. Our roles are quite flexible. We hope that people bring radical imagination, peace with nature, and courageous inclusiveness to the role. 

Your support will help young people and learners improve their environmental knowledge of design and research as well as contributing to our community-owned park. This will in turn provide a sense of stewardship over the land once the park is created and student's ideas have been built into the park. Creating learning projects with educational institutions will also help our charity with the strategy to buy the land through showing the value of our environmental education programme before we create the park. 

You will have a significant impact on the creation of a new biodiverse community-owned park with free access natural swimming ponds. By volunteering in this role, you will help shape the future of East London Waterworks Park as a community-led environmental learning space. This  will also help our charity with the strategy to buy the land through showing the value of our environmental education programme before we create the park. If you’re interested in joining us, we’d love to hear from you!
