Volunteer for an organisation combating mental health with menstrual literacy ❤️
Howami is an immersive menstrual wellness app for teens. Howami addresses the growing mental health risks for women, low menstrual literacy, and persistent period stigma. The World Health Organization’s 2023 Menstrual Health report highlights the global need for improved menstrual literacy and awareness. This report emphasizes the importance of education about menstruation and creating positive norms. Our innovation leverages advanced gaming technology for therapeutic outcomes, aiming to counteract the negative effects of social media by promoting embodiment and self-awareness.
Howami is an innovative mobile application designed to help menstruating individuals engage with their menstrual cycle and emotions through the use of advanced game design technology, CGI visuals, and a fluid, gesture-controlled interface. Our mission is to combat the mental health crisis affecting women, a crisis exacerbated by unhealthy social media usage, lack of menstrual literacy, and persistent period stigma. Our app provides a safe, healthy, and non-exploitative platform tailored to the needs of people.
Campaign Lead: The Million Moon project
Campaign Lead – Howami brings you "The One Million Moon" project
Volunteer Role · Global · Flexible Hours, to be discussed, starting ASAP in 2026!
Are you someone who:
Believes young people deserve better?
Wants to challenge outdated systems that have failed to prioritise menstrual wellbeing?
Feels called to build something bold, compassionate, and culturally transformative?
Thrives at the intersection of creativity, activism, and social impact?
Cares deeply about young people, emotions, cycles, and the hidden work of growing up?
Wants to make real change — not just talk about it?
If yes, you might be the movement-builder we’re looking for.
Why this The Million Moon Campaign Exists
We’re bringing a groundbreaking global project to life in 2026 - a project that will shift how the world understands menstrual wellbeing and youth emotional literacy.
But we are not building it through the usual routes:
No venture capital.
No extractive profit-first models.
No gatekeepers shaping the direction of the work.
Instead, we are choosing to:
Place power in the hands of the community we serve - young menstruators, families, educators, allies.
Challenge the structures that have historically underfunded, misunderstood, or minimised menstrual health.
Prioritise care, safety, inclusivity, cultural sensitivity, and emotional wellbeing over growth-for-growth’s-sake.
Build a model of ethical resourcing that is transparent, human-centred, and participatory.
Create a movement first, and a product second.
This volunteer role is for someone who wants to help shape a new way of doing social impact work, one that honors lived experience, builds global community, and bypasses the systems that haven’t served us.
The full details of the project will be shared with the successful volunteer, but for now, what you need to know is this:
You will be helping us launch a global campaign unlike anything else in menstrual wellbeing.
A campaign rooted in art, story, community, and change.
Your Role: Campaign Lead (Movement Builder)
As Campaign Lead, you will work closely with Howami’s co-founder Nikki Berridge to bring this campaign into the world. Because the founder is narcoleptic with limited working capacity, you will be the operational heart of the project, the person who turns big vision into clear, coordinated action.
What You’ll Gain
A front-row seat to building a global menstrual wellbeing movement
Experience leading a culturally significant, multi-layered campaign
Opportunities to work with artists, educators, youth advocates, and storytellers
Mentorship and collaboration with Howami’s founder
A chance to shape a project that could shift culture for generations
A meaningful role that genuinely changes lives
You will:
Help consolidate and organise all existing ideas, research, and creative development.
Hold and organise the project workflow.
Help create decks, briefs, and communications tailored to different audiences.
Reach out to aligned influencers, partners, schools, brands, and communities
Assist in shaping public-facing messaging and campaign materials
Support Nikki in the design and management of this global awareness campaign
Co-steer the movement with confidence, warmth, and imagination
Bring consistency, clarity, and structure to a creative, values-driven project
The technical knowhow and platforms needed to bring a campaign like this to life.
"All the above would be magnificent- but I also want you to know that you could take on 'part of this Role'. Passion is key so If any of this ignites something in you - reach out and introduce yourself." Nikki Berridge
You don’t need to know menstrual health deeply - ALL genders Welcome!
You DO need to care, communicate, organise, and be ready to create change.
Ready to help build something the world hasn’t seen before?
Please share a few lines on why this mission speaks to you and what capacity you have in the new year....
Best wishes,
The Howami team

In certain periods of the year, demand is extremely high, and the shared houses might be full. If you have the means to pay for your own accommodation, please let us know. We would still be happy to host you if space is available. However, in a situation where the shared houses are full, this would allow us to offer an opportunity to someone that cannot afford to pay rent.
Looking for an internship?
If, because of your degree or for any other reason, you would like to have your period at Second Tree credited as an internship, just apply to the vacancy that you’re interested in and mention this. We have agreements with several universities across Europe, and in many other cases, these agreements can be developed on an ad hoc basis.

Become a Young Trustee of Young Citizens and help light the spark of active citizenship for children and young people!
With citizenship education set to become statutory in primary schools, votes at 16 on the horizon, and growing concern about the health of our democracy, this is a pivotal moment to join Young Citizens as a Young Trustee.
For over 35 years, Young Citizens has helped children and young people understand society, engage in democracy and make a positive impact in their communities. Through flagship programmes like The Big Legal Lesson, The Big Democracy Lesson, the Make a Difference Challenge and National Mock Trial Competitions, we bring citizenship to life in classrooms and communities across the UK – reaching 300,000+ young people every year.
Our five-year strategy, Lighting the Spark, is focused on making sure every young person in the UK experiences powerful, practical and immersive citizenship learning. As a Young Trustee, you will help shape this next phase of growth, strengthen our financial sustainability, and ensure we make the most of the opportunities ahead.
This is a voluntary role (reasonable expenses reimbursed) and a chance to play a strategic part in strengthening UK democracy through education.
Role Snapshot:
- Contribute to shaping Young Citizens’ strategic direction and monitoring performance
- Help ensure compliance with charity law and our governing document (training provided)
- Safeguard the charity’s values, reputation, and financial integrity
- Support effective use of resources and long-term sustainability
- Work with fellow trustees to advise and support the CEO
- Act as an ambassador for Young Citizens, promoting our mission and building connections
Why join as a Young Trustee?
- Play an important role in guiding a national charity at a critical time for civic education.
- Bring your perspective as a young person to Board discussions - your lived experience matters.
- Gain governance experience, develop leadership skills, and learn how charities operate.
- Receive full induction, safeguarding training, and ongoing support, including a mentor trustee.
In short, you’ll help ensure hundreds of thousands of young people every year gain the knowledge, skills, and confidence to participate meaningfully in society.
What We Are Looking For
We’re looking for young trustees who bring fresh ideas, big-picture thinking, and a collaborative spirit. You’ll approach the role with openness and integrity, ready to learn, grow, and champion Young Citizens beyond the boardroom.
We welcome applications from young people aged 18–25 who are passionate about active citizenship and youth voice. You do not need prior board experience - training and support will be provided. We’re looking for potential, and learning as you go is part of the role. If you have experience or interest in any of the following areas, that’s great (but not essential):
- Citizenship education or youth engagement
- Marketing, communications, or influencing
- Business growth and partnerships
- Digital innovation or technology
- Fundraising and income generation
We also welcome diverse experiences or educational backgrounds, including leadership, public service, law, finance, policy, or community involvement.
If you want to play an active role in guiding strategy and making decisions that matter, ensuring hundreds of thousands of young people every year have the skills and confidence to engage fully in society, we’d love to hear from you!
Role Requirements
The role requires around 4–6 hours per month, including preparation and engagement between meetings. Trustees attend four board meetings a year (usually weekday evenings in London), monthly online finance updates, and an annual Away Day. Appointments are for an initial three-year term, with potential renewal. While day-to-day operations are led by the Chief Executive and senior team, trustees hold ultimate responsibility for governance and compliance.

Please send your CV and a one-page personal statement (explaining why you want to be a Young Trustee and how your skills align with the role) via the CharityJob application link.
