Youth development volunteer volunteer roles

Hey, London!

Are you a passionate, experienced youth worker ready for an exciting challenge?

We're Urban Youth, a brand new charity, starting our journey and we're looking for a volunteer Youth Work Manager to help us build something truly special from the ground up.

This isn't just a role; it's a chance to shape our entire programme. You'll take the lead in designing, organising, and running a range of dynamic activities for young people aged 11-19. If you have a passion for creating positive, engaging spaces and want to make a huge impact on young people across London, this is the perfect opportunity for you.

What You'll Do

• Programme Development: Use your expertise to create a diverse and exciting schedule of workshops and adventures.

• Team Leadership: Lead and mentor our team of dedicated volunteers.

• Hands-On Youth Work: Get stuck in and run activities that help young people discover new skills and build lasting friendships.

You’ll be instrumental in bringing our vision to life—getting young people off their screens, boosting their confidence, and giving them the tools they need to succeed.

Why Volunteer With Us?

• Make a Direct Impact: Your work will directly shape our programmes and the lives of young people across London.

• Creative Freedom: You'll have the creative freedom to help build and grow our charity from the very beginning.

• Join a Positive Community: Work alongside other passionate volunteers who are dedicated to making a difference.

If you're an experienced youth worker ready to lead the change and create a positive legacy, we want to hear from you.

Please submit your CV and a short cover letter explaining why you'd be a great fit for Urban Youth.
