Young Leaders (VOLUNTEER)

Help us create ‘URBAN YOUTH’ by getting involved during our early stages of the start-up phase where you will be making a difference building a unique young people’s charity that transforms the lives of young Londoners.

We are a start-up young people’s charity that are passionate about helping disadvantaged young Londoners to transform their lives and to succeed in life. Our aim is to accompany young people through adolescence, while helping them to reach their full potential, grow up healthy, be part of society and be prepared for their future.

We will do this by providing a range of fun, interactive and structured programmes, training workshops and events, where young people will have access to positive motivational and inspirational role models to help them develop their self-confidence and belief in themselves and help divert young people who feel their only choice is to enter into the wrong types of crowds, especially when they take a wrong turn or feel they have nowhere else to turn. We will guide and support young people and show them that there is a different path.

Hello!

Do you have a passion for helping others and making the world a lot brighter!!  We are a Start-up online Community Network that helps people connect and share the things they love. We are a registerd UK social-enterprise that chooses to  invest its funds and resources into maximising the impact for social-good.

We are looking for like-minded people who would love to get involved, areas of opportunity are eCommerce (like Shopify), Digital Marketing Tools, Google Webmaster & SEO. 

If you have an interest in these areas or would love to get involved, please check out the Website. Contact us by email to say Hi and let us know about you, your skills and background.

Positively have a great day!

A chance to make a big impact and make the world better with marketing!

We are looking for someone with great social media skills, plus strong publicity, PR and communications experience and bags of energy to enable us to reach and help more people.

Life Squared is a not-for-profit organisation that helps people to navigate the complexity of life so they can live in a happier, wiser and more meaningful way. We help people learn a range of critical life skills that we all need in order to live self-driven, civilised and fulfilled lives.

We do this by providing resources, courses and community events on a wide range of topics, including ‘the problem with consumerism’, ‘how to live ethically’, ‘how to find meaning in life’ and ‘how to think for yourself’.

Tens of thousands of people already use our resources every year, but we know we can reach and help a much bigger audience – and you can help us achieve this. You’ll be running our Twitter and Facebook accounts, helping us build our social media following, undertaking PR activity for us and helping us distribute our brilliant, important content to as many people and places as possible around the world.

We’re therefore looking with someone with several years’ experience and a track record of success in at least one of these areas.

This is a really exciting role and an opportunity to have a big positive impact on people’s lives. If you’ve got the energy and skills to make it yours, we’d love to hear from you!

We are based in Lewes near Brighton, but this role could be home based with occasional travel to Lewes. This is a part-time voluntary role of up to 3 days a week – and we’d be happy to discuss shorter hours and flexible working hours with candidates.

To apply for this role, send your CV and a covering email telling us why you are the ideal candidate. Sadly, we can only reply to candidates who have been successful.

Closing date – we will close the search for this role when we have found the right candidate.

A chance to change the lives of our members and supporters!

We are looking for someone with good writing and communication skills, experience of supporter databases and a sense of curiosity about the world to manage our relationships with supporters and members – from writing our weekly emails to sending resources to our members.

Our members and supporters are central to our work, and we send them regular emails and other communications to help them navigate life. We want to build our membership base in the coming months, and offer people the very best membership package and supporter care we can. You’ll be managing our communications to these contacts, including writing our email newsletters and letters, managing our contacts database and even organising events.

We’re therefore looking with someone who is well organised, with great writing skills and ideally several years’ experience in a communications role.

URBAN YOUTH I INSPIRING YOUNG LONDON

URBAN YOUTH

Company Secretary and Trustee

Help us create ‘URBAN YOUTH’ by getting involved during our early stages of the start-up phase where you will be making a difference building a unique young people’s charity that transforms the lives of young Londoners.

About Urban Youth:

We are a start-up young people’s charity that are passionate about helping disadvantaged young Londoners to transform their lives and to succeed in life. Our aim is to accompany young people through adolescence, while helping them to reach their full potential, grow up healthy, be part of society and be prepared for their future. We want young people to achieve their dreams but if they don't, we want them to be able to reflect positively on what's happened and learn from it.

We will do this by providing a range of fun, interactive and structured programmes, training workshops and events, where young people will have access to positive motivational and inspirational role models to help them develop their self-confidence and belief in themselves and help divert young people who feel their only choice is to enter into the wrong types of crowds, especially when they take a wrong turn or feel they have nowhere else to turn. We will guide and support young people and show them that there is a different path.

Our aim is to initially provide programmes in the following key 4 areas and then later add in new programmes based on the needs and aspirations of young people accessing our services, as well as those across London.

The 4 key areas include:

1. Youth Leadership Programme
2. Youth Employability Skills Programme
