Job description

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.

STATUS: RECRUITING

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