Get involved
Join YouthShare
Team, lab or writing: choose your path. Team roles open on this site, with an online application and step-by-step tracking; our opportunities are also shared on our partner platforms.
Join the team
Labs, social media, artificial intelligence, data, editorial, fundraising: a volunteer role of at least one year, remote.
Join a lab
You contribute to a concrete project on a specific issue, within one of our five labs.
Publish an analysis
You sign an op-ed, an analysis brief or a field piece, after checks and editorial board review.
Volunteering for your studies
Your course or programme requires volunteering: a supervised assignment, an hours log and a certificate.
Start a YouthShare club
At your school, your university or in your town, or to run a lab’s activities in person.
How we recruit
The same process for every opportunity. Every step matters
Understand our labs and our approach
Read our lab pages and our method: think together before acting together. Applications that show this understanding are reviewed first.
Choose a role
Each team role has its page on this site: assignments, profile, time required. Our opportunities are also shared on JeVeuxAider.gouv.fr and Idealist.
Apply online
Your application states what you bring, your availability and the role you are aiming for; a reference lets you follow it at every stage.
Selection
We select volunteers according to our values, their availability and how many people we can welcome during the period.
First conversation
An interview to confirm the assignment, the pace and the lab or function involved.
Assignment
You start on real work, supported by the team or the lab.
