YouthShare on the ground
Clubs & events team
Clubs and events bring YouthShare to life, in person and online: meet-ups, palavers, talks, lab days.
Assignments
- Run the facilitation training every new YouthShare club receives: a video session to prepare its first meetings and learn how to run a debate
- Draw improvements to the facilitation guide from your sessions and suggest them to the YouthShare Clubs Coordinator, who holds the launch conversation and looks after the starter kit
- Design training sessions for new volunteers with the Talent team: YouthShare’s way of working, remote teamwork, running a video meeting
- Fit these sessions into the onboarding journey designed by the Volunteer Experience Lead: the Volunteer Onboarding Officer holds the welcome conversation and arranges first access; you run the training sessions
- Refer every request for AI training to the AI team, which runs training on Claude and ChatGPT
- Offer clubs follow-up sessions through the year: running a reading circle, leading a foresight workshop, hosting a speaker by video
- Gather participants’ feedback after every session and improve the materials
Tools to master
- Microsoft Teams: video training sessions
- Canva: training materials
- SharePoint: training resources, alongside the volunteers’ welcome guide
- Microsoft Forms: participant feedback after each session

Applications open until 15 January 2027
YouthShare reserves the right to close this listing before that date, as soon as the right person is found. We therefore encourage you to apply now.
The one-year commitment
A non-profit project is built over time. Every volunteer therefore commits for at least one year: time to settle in, carry the assignment through and pass on what they have learned. The weekly time depends on the role and is given in each role description.
