WANTED: THE STRATEGIC CREW.
THE URBAN YOUTH BOARD OF TRUSTEES
THE MISSION: GUARD THE BRAND. FUEL THE MOVEMENT.
URBAN YOUTH doesn't just do "sessions"—we deploy interventions. To keep our van on the road and our impact high, we need a Board of Trustees that thinks like a startup and acts with the precision of a global brand.
We are looking for the Architects, the Guardians, and the Hustlers to oversee our governance. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a first-time leader, if you have the drive to protect and power our youth, we want you on the Board.
THE LINE-UP: OPEN POSITIONS
THE EXECUTIVES
-
CHAIR OF THE BOARD: The Visionary. You facilitate the big conversations and keep the CEO/Co-CEO on track.
-
DEPUTY CHAIR: The Strategy Lead. You ensure the board stays active and the mission stays sharp.
-
TREASURER: The Financial Architect. You manage the "fuel" (budgets, accounts, and financial sustainability).
-
SECRETARY: The Governance Lead. You keep the mission organised, legal, and documented.
THE SPECIALISTS
-
SAFEGUARDING TRUSTEE: The Guardian. You ensure every "drop" is a safe space. (Social work/Education background preferred).
-
FUNDRAISING TRUSTEE: The Rainmaker. You open doors to corporate partners, grants, and high-net-worth "investors."

YOUTH WORK TRUSTEE: The Practitioner. You ensure our interventions remain world-class and evidence-based.
-
HR TRUSTEE: The People Lead. You help us recruit, support, and protect our "Field Agents" and Crew.

THE NEXT GEN (Aged 16–25)
-
YOUNG TRUSTEES (x3): The Truth-Tellers. You hold the board accountable. You have equal voting power to ensure the brand never loses touch with the community it serves.
THE COMMITMENT
-
Quarterly "Huddles": Board meetings that aren't boring. We review the data, celebrate the wins, and solve the blockers.
-
Remote & On-Street: We meet digitally, but we expect you to show up at a "Drop" at least once a quarter to see the impact firsthand.
-
Status: Volunteer.
