Step Forward as Deputy Head of the Volunteer Corps of the Principality of Lys

A Call to Service. A Call to Imagination. A Call to Build a Legacy.

For twelve years, the Principality of Lys has been quietly shaping its cultural foundations, preparing its identity, and laying the groundwork for a future unlike any other. In 2027, we begin a new era — one of public presence, international engagement, and the first steps toward settling our 2.7 square miles of claimed European land.

To rise into that future, we need leaders. Not just one — but a pair of guiding lights.

And this is where you come in.

Become the Right Hand of the Volunteer Corps

Deputy Head of the Volunteer Corps

A volunteer role for those who feel the pull of purpose.

This is your chance to stand at the heart of a growing nation — not as a politician, but as a guardian of community, creativity, and service.

You will work alongside the Head of the Volunteer Corps to build an international volunteer programme that spans:

• Remote roles

• Hybrid opportunities

• In‑person service on the land of Lys itself

Your leadership will help shape the culture of honour, chivalry, and civic spirit that will define the next era of our Principality.

Why This Role Matters

Every great nation is built not only by its leaders, but by those who stand beside them — the ones who carry the torch, steady the course, and help transform vision into reality.

As Deputy Head, you will be:

• A builder of systems

• A supporter of people

• A champion of creativity

• A steward of community

• A co‑architect of the future of Lys

Your work will help us grow faster, stronger, and with deeper purpose.

You will be part of the team that sows the foundations of a new chapter in our history.

What You Will Do

As Deputy Head of the Volunteer Corps, you will:

• Support the creation and management of the volunteer programme

• Help recruit, train, and guide volunteers across the world

• Assist in designing hybrid and in‑person opportunities

• Strengthen community engagement and volunteer wellbeing

• Uphold the values of honour, service, and creativity

• Step into leadership when needed, ensuring continuity and stability

This is a role for someone who wants to build, not just follow.

Who You Are

You don’t need titles or credentials. You need heart.

You are someone who:

• Believes in service

• Thrives in teamwork

• Enjoys organising and supporting others

• Has a creative spark

• Wants to be part of something meaningful

• Feels called to help shape a nation from the ground up

If you’ve ever wanted to be part of history — not as a spectator, but as a builder — this is your moment.

Your Invitation to Step Forward

The Principality of Lys is ready to grow. We have the land. We have the vision. We have the foundations.

Now we need those who will help bring it all to life.

1. Will you stand with us?
2. Will you help shape the future?
3. Will you take your place in the story of Lys?

Who we are

Trans+ Learning Lab is a UK CIC delivering life‑changing education and training to gender‑diverse folks in challenging contexts.

The Trans+ Learning Lab CIC is made up of myself (the founder) Helmut (they/them, he/him) and the Uganda Lead, Mama Mityana (she/her). The Uganda Lead receives a part-time wage to deliver stakeholder advocacy and training services in her country; I do not pay myself, and I finance everything from project delivery to procurement from my own savings. 

We are seeking volunteer fundraisers to help us promote, update, and widely share our active and future GoFundMe campaigns and to help us form a funding pipeline in a more raitonal, proactive manner.

In our current project and campaign, we are trying to raise essential funds toward our Uganda training and upskilling incubator project in partnership with Tranz Network Uganda. This particular GoFundme campaign supports the delivery and sustainability of our entrepreneurship incubator.

With future fundraising and comms, you will be involved in shaping our strategy to generate income to implement our other educational mission: to deliver low- or no-cost coding bootcamps to vulnerable LGBTQ+ communities in Africa and South Asia, and to deliver refugee-specific empowerment programmes.

You will be actively helping vulnerable people access safer, more sustainable livelihoods through upskilling in Uganda, Kenya, Pakistan and beyond. 

What you’ll be doing

• Promoting the GoFundMe campaign across your personal and professional networks in the first instance
• Help us design the strategy for, and support, future crowdfunding campaigns and comms
• Sharing campaign updates and calls to action on social media, newsletter and relevant community spaces
• Helping amplify key messages, milestones and calls to action
• Suggesting creative outreach ideas to increase reach and engagement
• Acting as a friendly ambassador for Trans+ Learning Lab’s mission

Who we’re looking for

• Someone confident sharing and generating impactful, engaging fundraising content and asking people to donate
• Someone active on social media and well connected to communities, networks and organisations
• Someone with direct experience of corporate responsibility schemes and engagement (desirable)
• A versatile, excellent written communicator
• A person who is reliable, values‑driven, and above all, respectful and supportive of trans‑led work

Ideally you will have accrued 2-3 years' professional fundraising and campaigning experience in the non-profit sector, but if you have an equivalent voluntary and pro bono expertise in minority causes advocacy and supporter-network building your application is warmly welcomed too. 

LGBTQ+ persons are especially encouraged to apply, though allies are warmly welcome.

We’re on the lookout for a volunteer who’s keen to make a real difference in our communities — and pick up some new skills along the way!

This is a unique opportunity to gain a recognised qualification while helping residents at Asquith Court and Charlotte Court enjoy regular chair-based exercise sessions. These schemes don’t currently have any sessions, but they’re really keen to get started — ideally once a month to begin with (and maybe more if it’s a hit!).

We’ll support you every step of the way, including covering the cost of your Amac Certificate in Chair-based Exercise Instructing - which you can complete online at your own pace. Once you’re qualified, we’ll work with you to build a schedule that fits around your availability.

Each session will last up to an hour, and we’ll also cover your travel expenses between the two schemes.

Because you’ll be working with potentially vulnerable residents, you’ll need to be 18 or over to take on this role.

If you’re passionate about helping others stay active, feel good, and have fun — we’d love to hear from you!

everyone with respect.

In addition, as Finance Trustee you will need:

● financial literacy, including experience of creating and managing 
budgets 
● ability to interpret financial information and communicate it clearly, and 
● strong analytical skills. 

For this role, we also value:

● experience of working in finance, accounting and/or audit 
● experience in charity finance, SORP, or nonprofit financial management 
● familiarity with financial software, and/or 
● experience of Board or committee work.

Finally, competent trustees should have these six personal qualities to some 
extent, and demonstrate them in their behaviours: 

● Committed - motivated, dedicated, persevering; plays an active role. 
● Responsible - accountable, independent, reliable; accepts collective 
responsibility. 
● Trustworthy - ethical, principled; is a critical friend and focuses on 
continuous improvement. 
● Collaborative - team-oriented, approachable; builds relationships and 
seeks consensus. 
● Confident - independent; contributes constructively and expresses 
opinions courageously. 
● Thoughtful - curious, adaptable, open-minded; appropriately challenges
