WANTED: THE STRATEGIC ANCHOR
ROLE: VOLUNTEER TRUSTEE / BOARD MEMBER
LOCATION: HYBRID / LONDON
STRATEGY: BLACK & WHITE GOVERNANCE. NO GREY AREAS.
THE MISSION
URBAN YOUTH is disrupting the status quo. We are building a high-impact, agile model that moves faster than traditional charities. To keep this movement sustainable and legally watertight, we need a Board of Trustees who can provide the "Scaffolding" for our growth.
You aren't just sitting in a boardroom; you’re guarding the vision and ensuring the movement has the legs to go the distance. We need 'LEAN START-UP' thinking and people whos actions speak louder than words.
THE GIG
-
The Guardianship: Ensuring we stay true to our mission while navigating the legal and financial realities of the charity sector.
-
The Network: Leveraging your professional background—whether it’s Fundraising, Law, Finance, Safeguarding, or Policy—to open doors and clear paths.
-
The Strategy: Working with the Founder to map out Years 1, 2, and 3, ensuring we scale without losing our "street" soul.
-
The Compliance: Overseeing our "High Contrast" approach to transparency, risk management, and EDI.
ABOUT YOU
-
The Professional Edge: You have a background in business, charity leadership, law, or the creative industries. You know how the "system" works, and you want to use that knowledge to help those it often ignores.
-
A Rebel with a Cause: You’re tired of "corporate youth work fluff." You believe in radical accessibility and want to support a model that values agility over bureaucracy.
-
Critical Friend: You aren't afraid to challenge the Founder or the Squad. You provide the level-headed perspective that keeps the project safe and sustainable.
-
London Heart: You’re invested in the future of the city and its young people. You understand the "postcode lottery" and want to be part of the solution.
THE COMMITMENT
This is a high-level role with a low-intensity time commitment. We hold quarterly board meetings (90 mins) plus occasional ad-hoc advice via email or WhatsApp as specific challenges arise. The first Foundation Meeting will be a weekend day or spread over 3 evenings, so that we can get aquainted, agree the foundations and get everything signed off and submitted and ready to launch.
THE PERKS
-
Civic Leadership: Play a pivotal role in a timely, ambitious project that is redefining urban provision.
-
Governance Experience: Gain or sharpen your experience at board level within a lean, "start-up" style charity.
-
Direct Impact: Help build the foundations that will eventually support thousands of young Londoners.
HOW TO APPLY
We don't need a formal cover letter. We need to know your "Why."
Reply with:
-
The "Expertise": What is your professional "superpower" (e.g., Finance, Law, HR, Fundraising)?
-
The "Why": In two sentences, why does the URBAN YOUTH mission resonate with you?
-
The "Gap": What is the biggest risk you think a "pop-up" model faces, and how would you help us manage it?

WANTED: THE CHIEF NAVIGATOR
ROLE: VOLUNTEER PROJECT MANAGER
LOCATION: HYBRID / THE STREETS
OPERATIONS: HIGH SPEED. LOW OVERHEADS. ZERO FRICTION.
THE MISSION
URBAN YOUTH is a moving target. We don’t sit in static buildings waiting for life to happen; we drop into the heart of London and make it happen. We need a Project Manager who can take the chaos of a "pop-up" vision and turn it into a clinical, well-oiled machine.
You aren't just managing a schedule; you’re the engine room of the movement.
THE GIG
-
The Deployment: Mapping out the logistics for our "Signature Event" drops—from venue scouting to kit lists.
-
The Squad: Coordinating our volunteer professionals to ensure everyone knows where to be, when to be there, and what the "win" looks like.
-
The Blueprint: Standardising our "Pop-Up Playbook" so we can launch in a new borough at a moment’s notice.
-
The Impact: Tracking our KPIs to prove that an agile, volunteer-led model delivers more than traditional "fluff."
ABOUT YOU
-
Execution Obsessed: You love a plan, but you love the delivery more. You know how to pivot when a venue falls through or a "drop" needs to move.
-
London Literate: You understand the city’s geography. You know the difference between a council hall and a "space with soul."
-
The Toolkit: You’re a pro with Trello, Monday, or just a legendary spreadsheet. You keep the red tape at zero and the efficiency at 100%.
-
The Connector: You can talk to anyone—from a corporate sponsor to a youth mentor—and get them moving in the same direction.
THE COMMITMENT
Flexible and task-based. We need a solid push during the Launch Phase to set the systems, then a few hours a month to oversee the monthly project drops.
THE PERKS
-
C-Suite Experience: Lead a high-profile, ambitious project that is disrupting the youth work sector.
-
Strategic Freedom: You own the operations. If there’s a faster, sharper way to do it, you make the call.
-
Community Legacy: You’ll be the reason a "postcode lottery" youth gets a shot at a world-class creative studio.
HOW TO APPLY
Keep the long-winded emails. We need to see your logic.
Reply with:
-
The "Pop-Up" Solution: In three bullet points, how would you organise a music studio "drop" in an empty shop with only 48 hours' notice?
-
The Track Record: One example of a project you’ve managed from scratch (professional or personal).
-
The Tools: What’s your go-to system for keeping a team on track?

WANTED: THE VISUAL ARCHITECT
ROLE: VOLUNTEER GRAPHIC DESIGNER & BRAND LEAD
LOCATION: REMOTE / THE STREETS
PALETTE: BLACK & WHITE ONLY. NO GREY AREAS.
THE MISSION
URBAN YOUTH doesn’t do "corporate." We do high-impact, urban-style youth work that looks as sharp as it feels. We need a designer who can take our "Black & White" ethos and turn it into a brand that stands out on a brick wall, a smartphone screen, and a t-shirt.
You aren't just making a logo; you’re building the visual armour of a movement.

A Minimalist with an Edge: You understand that "Less is More." You love urban design, brutalist typography, and high-contrast photography.
-
Urban Minded: You know what looks good in London. You understand the "Street" aesthetic and how to make it feel premium yet accessible.
-
The Toolkit: You’re a pro with the Adobe Suite (Illustrator/Photoshop/InDesign) or Canva/Figma, and you know how to export for both print and digital.
-
The Visionary: You don’t just take orders; you bring ideas. You want to create something that people actually want to wear.
THE COMMITMENT
Flexible and task-based. We need a heavy lift during the Launch Phase (to get the brand ready), then approximately 2 hours a month to support the "Signature Event" drops.
THE PERKS
-
Portfolio Gold: A rare chance to build a brand identity from the ground up for a project that actually matters.
-
Creative Freedom: Within the "Black & White" constraint, the floor is yours.
-
Legacy: Your designs will be the first thing a young person sees when they discover URBAN YOUTH.
HOW TO APPLY
Forget the CV. We need to see your eye.
Reply with:
-
3 B&W Samples: Show us three pieces of work that fit the "Urban/Minimalist" vibe.
