Overview

Here at Youth4

Youth we have grown a strong tight-knit community of individuals who are passionate about making a difference and improving the lives of young people across the UK. Our growing team who are primarily volunteers all contribute significantly to the impact that we have as a charity on our direct beneficiaries regardless of the department that they work in or the level of time that they are able to commit.

Our services primarily offer a peer-support network to young people right across the UK allowing them to access a peer mentor who is of a similar age to them and somebody that they feel more comfortable speaking with.

If successful you will be joining a growing team of diverse but likeminded individuals collaborating to increase the reach of the Charity and improve support provisions available to young people. All of our volunteers and employees are remote workers but that doesnt stop us keeping in touch and maintaining a strong positive culture amongst our whole team.

If you are interested in applying for this role and would like to find out more you are welcome to join our Chairman and outgoing Volunteer CEO in one of the following informal drop-in sessions. This will provide you with an opportunity to learn more about the charity its mission and how you may partner with the Chair to lead Youth4

Youth through the next stages of its journey. Sign up is required.
