WANTED: THE SYSTEM PROTECTOR.

ROLE: VOLUNTEER ADMIN & COMPLIANCE MANAGER

THE MISSION: FORTIFY THE BRAND. SECURE THE DROP.

URBAN YOUTH moves fast, but we never move reckless. To drop high-impact interventions on the street, we need a backbone of steel. We need an Admin & Compliance Manager who finds beauty in the details and power in the process.

You are the one who ensures our "Crew" is vetted, our "Drops" are insured, and our "Data" is locked down. You turn the "boring stuff" into a competitive advantage.

We have the energy. You have the infrastructure.

THE MISSION DEBRIEF

Your objective is to build a "Bulletproof" operational foundation:

• THE COMPLIANCE SHIELD: Managing the "Specs"—DBS checks, risk assessments, and insurance. You make sure we’re legal so we can be loud.

• THE DATA VAULT: Keeping our community info organised, GDPR-compliant, and ready for "Mission Debriefs" (Impact Reporting).

• THE CREW ONBOARDING: Managing the paperwork that turns a "Volunteer" into an "Official Crew Member."

• THE INBOX CONTROLLER: Streamlining the comms between the Board, the Co-CEOs, and our partners.

THE SPECS

Who you are:

• Methodical: You don't just "check" a box; you verify it. You have an eye for detail that others miss.

• Problem Solver: You see a messy spreadsheet and your first instinct is to build a system to fix it.

• Discrete: You understand the weight of handling sensitive community data.

• High-Contrast Thinker: You can balance "Strict Compliance" with the "Street Energy" of the brand.

THE REWARDS

• The Backbone: You are the reason the Board sleeps at night and the Crew feels safe on the streets.

• System Builder: You get to design the administrative "OS" for a fast-scaling London brand.

• The Crew: Full URBAN YOUTH "Crew" kit and a senior seat at the "Mission Briefings."

• The Legacy: You are building a professional standard that sets URBAN YOUTH apart from every other charity.

HOW TO SECURE THE SPECS

WE DON'T WANT A 10-PAGE CV. WE WANT THE SYSTEM.

TO APPLY:

Send us a brief "Admin Audit." Tell us: What are the 3 most important documents every street-based "Drop" needs before it goes live?

• Bonus: Tell us about a time you saved a project by spotting a detail everyone else missed.

URBAN YOUTH // STRENGTH IN THE SPECS.

WANTED: THE GROUND BREAKER.

ROLE: VOLUNTEER COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT & OUTREACH MANAGER

THE MISSION: EMBED THE BRAND. UNLOCK THE CITY.

URBAN YOUTH doesn't just "show up." We land with purpose. But before the van doors open, the ground needs to be prepared. We need a Community Engagement & Outreach Manager to be our lead scout and bridge-builder.

You are the one who talks to the local legends, the shop owners, the parents, and the "quiet leaders" of the estate. You turn a "neighborhood" into a "Partner Zone."

We have the gear. You have the keys to the city.

THE MISSION DEBRIEF

Your objective is to ensure URBAN YOUTH is welcomed, trusted, and embedded across London:

• THE STREET SCOUT: Identifying the "Heat Zones"—the specific corners, parks, and squares where young people are gathered and need us most.

• THE TRUST ARCHITECT: Building deep, authentic relationships with local community groups, faith leaders, and grassroots organisations.

• THE OUTREACH ENGINE: Leading the "Pre-Drop" hype. Getting on the ground days before a session to let the community know we’re coming.

• THE PARTNERSHIP MAPPING: Connecting with local councils, youth hubs, and police (where necessary) to ensure our interventions are supported and sustainable.

THE SPECS

Who you are:

• The Natural Communicator: You can talk to a Council Leader in the morning and a group of teenagers in the afternoon without changing your soul.

• The Map-Maker: You know London. You understand the nuances between boroughs and the "invisible borders" that young people face.

• High Empathy, Low Ego: You listen more than you talk. You understand that "Community" is earned, not bought.

• The Problem-Solver: You know how to navigate local tensions and turn "Not in my backyard" into "When are you coming back?"

THE REWARDS

• The Key to the City: You will build a network of contacts that spans the entire capital.

• The Impact Lead: You are the reason a "Drop" feels like a homecoming rather than an intrusion.

• The Crew: Full URBAN YOUTH "Crew" kit and a senior seat at the "Mission Briefings."

• The Legacy: You are building the foundation for a London-wide movement.

HOW TO UNLOCK THE ZONE

WE DON'T WANT A PROPOSAL. WE WANT TO HEAR YOUR HUSTLE.

TO APPLY:

Send us a 60-second "Street Pitch." Tell us: How do you introduce URBAN YOUTH to a community that has been let down by "the system" before?

• Bonus: Tell us about a time you turned a "No" into a "Yes" on the streets.

STATUS: SCOUTING

DEADLINE: Monday 30th March 2026, before 6pm

ROLE: VOLUNTEER FUNDRAISING & PARTNERSHIPS MANAGER

URBAN YOUTH doesn't ask for "handouts." We offer Investments.

We are a high-speed, street-level intervention brand with a world-class aesthetic and a frontline pulse. To keep our "Drops" hitting the pavement and our "Crew" equipped, we need a Fundraising and Partnerships Manager who knows how to turn a vision into a budget.

We’ve got the streets. We need you to bring the fuel.

THE MISSION DEBRIEF

Your objective is to build a sustainable, high-powered engine for the brand:

• THE PARTNERSHIPS: Scouting and securing "Brand Alignments" with companies that want to invest in the next generation (think Fashion, Tech, Music, and Sport).

• THE GRANTS: Identifying the high-level "Strategic Funds" and turning our data into winning bids.

• THE REVENUE: Finding creative ways to monetize the brand—from "Sponsor a Drop" packages to corporate social responsibility (CSR) deals.

• THE INVESTORS: Managing the relationships with our high-net-worth supporters, keeping them hyped on the "Mission Debriefs."

THE SPECS

Who you are:

• The Closer: You aren't afraid to ask for the check. You know the value of what we do and you sell it with 100% confidence.

• Strategist: You don't just "apply"—you "position." You know how to make URBAN YOUTH the only choice for a partner.

• Connected: You have a black book of contacts or the "Hustle" to build one from scratch.

• Professional with an Edge: You can hold your own in a corporate boardroom, but you appreciate the grit of a street-side intervention.

THE REWARDS

• Architect Status: You are the reason we can scale from one borough to the whole city.

• The Portfolio: A "Lead Fundraiser" role at a disruptive, fast-growing brand is a massive power-move for your career.

• The Crew: Full URBAN YOUTH "Crew" kit and a seat at the strategic "Board Huddles."

• The Legacy: You aren't just raising money; you are raising the ceiling for every young person we reach.

HOW TO SECURE THE ASSETS

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

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.

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.

We are looking for a creative, thoughtful, and mission‑driven volunteer designer who can craft a logo that:

• 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.
