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
