Job description

We’re dropping something big. And no, it’s not a new hoodie line. It’s youth work — reimagined, remixed, and brought straight to the streets.

We’re URBAN YOUTH, a brand‑new youth work charity turning unused spaces, empty corners, and forgotten buildings into pop‑up hubs where young people can actually show up as themselves. Think of it like an urban wear drop… but instead of clothes, we’re dropping opportunities, support, creativity, and community.

Right now, we’re in conception mode — building the blueprint, shaping the culture, and getting ready for our first pop‑ups. And this is where you come in.

The Role: Volunteer Project Manager

You’ll be the person who helps turn raw ideas into a real, operational movement. You’ll lead on project planning, mapping out our start‑up phase, and getting us launch‑ready. If you love taking a vision and building the structure that makes it possible, this is your moment.

You’ll help us:

  • Shape the project roadmap from concept to launch

  • Build timelines, workflows, and simple systems that keep us moving

  • Coordinate early‑stage tasks across a small, creative team

  • Spot risks, gaps, and opportunities before they become problems

  • Turn “we should do this” into “this is happening next week”

  • Make sure our first pop‑ups land with impact, intention, and energy

This isn’t corporate project management. It’s grassroots, hands‑on, start‑up energy — the kind where you help build the thing you’re planning.

Who This Is For

We’re looking for someone who:

  • Gets energised by building something from scratch

  • Loves the idea of youth work that goes to young people, not the other way around

  • Can bring clarity, structure, and momentum to a creative, early‑stage team

  • Isn’t afraid to roll up their sleeves and make things happen

  • Wants to say “I helped build this from day one”

Why It Matters

The systems you build now will shape how we show up for young people later. Your planning becomes the backbone of our first drop. Your structure becomes the foundation of our movement. Your leadership helps us turn empty spaces into places where young people feel seen, safe, and supported.

If you’re ready to help architect something bold, raw, and genuinely new in youth work…

Join the drop. Build the movement. Change the game.
