Volunteer roles

WANTED: THE VOICE OF THE STREET.

ROLE: VOLUNTEER COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER

THE MISSION: BROADCAST THE DROP. BUILD THE NOISE.

If a drop happens and nobody sees it, did it even hit? URBAN YOUTH is more than a charity; it’s a broadcast. We don’t "report"—we storytell.

We need a Communications Manager who understands how to turn a 3-hour pop-up into a month of digital heat. You’re the one who makes sure the city knows we’re coming, and the world knows what we achieved.

This is your frequency. Own it.

THE MISSION DEBRIEF

Your objective is to keep the URBAN YOUTH signal loud, clear, and high-contrast:

• THE NARRATIVE: Telling the story of our young people (The Architects) with dignity and hype. No "pity" stories—only power stories.

• THE DROP STRATEGY: Managing the countdowns. Coordinating the "Leaks," the "Live Clips," and the "Mission Debriefs" across Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn.

• THE PRESS HUSTLE: Getting the brand into the right ears—from local street blogs to national news and industry podcasts.

• THE BRAND GUARD: Making sure every piece of content—from a tweet to a flyer—is strictly Black, White, and High-Vis Yellow.

THE SPECS

Who you are:

• Digital Native: You live on the grid. You know the difference between a "post" and a "moment."

• Wordsmith: You can write a professional funding update in the morning and a high-energy "Drop Announcement" in the afternoon.

• Strategic: You don't just post for the sake of it; you post to build a movement.

• Visual Thinker: You work hand-in-hand with the Graphic Designer and the Crew to ensure the "Vibe" is always 10/10.

THE REWARDS

• The Platform: You get to shape the voice of London's most exciting new youth brand.

• The Network: Build connections with journalists, influencers, and community leaders.

• The Crew: Full URBAN YOUTH "Crew" kit and direct access to the Co-CEOs for strategy.

• The Impact: Your words and videos are the reason a young person decides to show up to a drop and change their life.

HOW TO SECURE THE SIGNAL

WE DON'T WANT A COVER LETTER. WE WANT A HEADLINE.

TO APPLY:

Send us a link to your best work or a 3-slide "Comm's Strategy" for our next drop.

• Bonus: Write us a 150-character Instagram caption for a "Secret Location" drop.

URBAN YOUTH // THE MESSAGE IS THE MISSION.

WANTED: THE VISUAL ARCHITECT.

ROLE: VOLUNTEER GRAPHIC DESIGNER

THE MISSION: DESIGN THE DROP. BUILD THE BRAND.

URBAN YOUTH is a street-based intervention brand. We don’t do boring flyers, and we don’t do "corporate" charity vibes. We do High-Vis. High-Impact. High-Contrast.

We have the vision. We have the "Black, White, and Yellow" DNA. Now, we need the hands to build it. We’re looking for a Volunteer Graphic Designer to help us shape the official logo, the "Drop" templates, and the visual language of the movement.

THE CREATIVE BRIEF

You aren't just "making a logo." You are designing a streetwear-inspired identity that young people will actually want to wear.

Your mission:

• THE LOGO: Take our core ideas and refine them into a "Stamp" or "Icon" that works on everything from a 10ft banner to a hoodie sleeve.

• THE STYLE GUIDE: Lock in the fonts, the grids, and the "Street-Technical" look.

• THE ASSETS: Create the templates for our Instagram "Drops" and physical pop-up signage.

• THE VIBE: Ensure we look more like Nike or Off-White than a traditional youth centre.

WHO YOU ARE

• THE EYE: You understand minimalism, typography, and how to make Yellow & Black look sophisticated, not just loud.

• THE COLLABORATOR: You can take a rough sketch or a "vibe" and turn it into a vector.

• THE DISRUPTOR: You’re tired of boring design and want to use your skills for a cause that actually has a "pulse."

• PORTFOLIO-BUILDER: Whether you’re a pro looking to give back or a student looking for a "Founder-level" project to put on your reel, this is for you.

THE PERKS

• Creative Ownership: You aren't just a "pixel pusher." You are the lead designer for a new London brand.

• Real-World Impact: See your designs on the streets, on the vans, and on the backs of the next generation.

• The Crew: Full access to the URBAN YOUTH leadership team and a seat at the table for brand strategy.

• The Credits: We’ll shout you out. Your work will be the face of the mission.

HOW TO SUBMIT

WE DON'T WANT A COVER LETTER. WE WANT THE VISION.

TO APPLY:

Send us a link to your portfolio or 3 pieces of work that show you "get" the urban aesthetic.

• Bonus: Send us a "rough sketch" of how you’d interpret the URBAN YOUTH logo.

CLOSING DATE: Monday 30th March 2026, before 6pm - DON'T MISS OUT!!!

• A chance to develop your filming, editing and digital communication skills

• Flexibility to shape the content style and creative direction

• Insight into ecotherapy and community gardening

Hello there, we're Unlock YOUR Potential a micro/small social mobility charitable organisation providing employability services to adults across the UK.

We're in need of a volunteer who can give up some time to help us out by creating a logo and brand guide for our new social mobility charity, helping us raise our profile and reach more people who need our help and support.

At Unlock YOUR Potential, we believe an “accident of birth” should never determine a person’s destination. We are a new UK‑based social mobility charity committed to breaking cycles of deprivation through holistic employability, wellbeing, and mentoring programmes that empower adults to thrive.

We are prioritising delivery in areas that rank among the top 10 most deprived areas nationally for employment and skills. The need here is real. The talent is abundant. The opportunity for impact is extraordinary.

• Captures our purpose — breaking down barriers and unlocking potential

• Communicates growth and transformation

• Feels modern, bold, and full of possibility

• Resonates with adults from working‑class and underserved communities

• Works across digital, print, and social platforms

Your design will become the visual foundation of our charity — a symbol of hope, ambition, and opportunity for the communities we serve.

You will work closely with the Founder to design a modern, meaningful, and impactful logo that reflects our mission of growth, development, empowerment, and change.
