Become a Young Trustee of Young Citizens and help light the spark of active citizenship for children and young people!
With citizenship education set to become statutory in primary schools, votes at 16 on the horizon, and growing concern about the health of our democracy, this is a pivotal moment to join Young Citizens as a Young Trustee.
For over 35 years, Young Citizens has helped children and young people understand society, engage in democracy and make a positive impact in their communities. Through flagship programmes like The Big Legal Lesson, The Big Democracy Lesson, the Make a Difference Challenge and National Mock Trial Competitions, we bring citizenship to life in classrooms and communities across the UK – reaching 300,000+ young people every year.
Our five-year strategy, Lighting the Spark, is focused on making sure every young person in the UK experiences powerful, practical and immersive citizenship learning. As a Young Trustee, you will help shape this next phase of growth, strengthen our financial sustainability, and ensure we make the most of the opportunities ahead.
This is a voluntary role (reasonable expenses reimbursed) and a chance to play a strategic part in strengthening UK democracy through education.

- Contribute to shaping Young Citizens’ strategic direction and monitoring performance
- Help ensure compliance with charity law and our governing document (training provided)
- Safeguard the charity’s values, reputation, and financial integrity
- Support effective use of resources and long-term sustainability

Why join as a Young Trustee?
- Play an important role in guiding a national charity at a critical time for civic education.
- Bring your perspective as a young person to Board discussions - your lived experience matters.
- Gain governance experience, develop leadership skills, and learn how charities operate.
- Receive full induction, safeguarding training, and ongoing support, including a mentor trustee.
In short, you’ll help ensure hundreds of thousands of young people every year gain the knowledge, skills, and confidence to participate meaningfully in society.
What We Are Looking For
We’re looking for young trustees who bring fresh ideas, big-picture thinking, and a collaborative spirit. You’ll approach the role with openness and integrity, ready to learn, grow, and champion Young Citizens beyond the boardroom.
We welcome applications from young people aged 18–25 who are passionate about active citizenship and youth voice. You do not need prior board experience - training and support will be provided. We’re looking for potential, and learning as you go is part of the role. If you have experience or interest in any of the following areas, that’s great (but not essential):
- Citizenship education or youth engagement
- Marketing, communications, or influencing
- Business growth and partnerships
- Digital innovation or technology
- Fundraising and income generation
We also welcome diverse experiences or educational backgrounds, including leadership, public service, law, finance, policy, or community involvement.
If you want to play an active role in guiding strategy and making decisions that matter, ensuring hundreds of thousands of young people every year have the skills and confidence to engage fully in society, we’d love to hear from you!
Role Requirements
The role requires around 4–6 hours per month, including preparation and engagement between meetings. Trustees attend four board meetings a year (usually weekday evenings in London), monthly online finance updates, and an annual Away Day. Appointments are for an initial three-year term, with potential renewal. While day-to-day operations are led by the Chief Executive and senior team, trustees hold ultimate responsibility for governance and compliance.

Please send your CV and a one-page personal statement (explaining why you want to be a Young Trustee and how your skills align with the role) via the Charity Job application link.
