AI in service of the mission

Artificial intelligence team

At YouthShare Initiatives, artificial intelligence is part of everyday work: Claude, first and foremost, and ChatGPT support research, writing, translation and organisation. The AI team makes demanding, useful and responsible use of them, in service of the five labs.

Assignments

  • Build the association’s AI roadmap, team by team and lab by lab
  • Administer the team’s Claude and ChatGPT workspaces: accounts, shared projects, connectors, permissions
  • Choose tools and subscriptions, and track both their cost and their use
  • Coordinate the AI team and set its quarterly priorities
  • Train volunteers in good practice, from the first prompt to advanced projects
  • Measure time saved and quality achieved, and report to the board
  • Keep up with models, features and programmes for non-profits
  • Represent YouthShare in discussions on AI for the public good

Tools to master

  • Claude: projects, connectors, Skills, Claude Code and the API Console
  • ChatGPT: custom GPTs, projects, team workspaces and connectors
  • Microsoft 365: the association’s workplace and its integrations
  • Notion, Trello or Planner: roadmap management
  • AI provider dashboards: tracking usage and billing

Your first three months

  • Month 1: interviews with every team and an inventory of current Claude and ChatGPT use
  • Month 2: AI roadmap presented to the board, with priorities and budget
  • Month 3: first shared projects live and a training path launched

Profile we are looking for

  • Outstanding command of Claude and ChatGPT, day to day and on advanced projects
  • Strategic vision: linking a tool to a need and a result
  • Experience leading change or training teams
  • Solid understanding of model limits: hallucinations, bias, confidentiality
  • Leadership, teaching skills and organisation

A volunteer role, open to young people

Every role we offer is voluntary. The experience we ask for can come from a course, a student project, an internship, volunteering or a personal project: every skill counts, wherever you gained it. Our roles are designed first and foremost for young people, and we weigh your motivation and potential as carefully as your track record. Want to be part of something big? Apply.

Nice to have

  • Experience rolling out AI in an organisation
  • Programming in Python or JavaScript
  • Good English and French

What this role gives you

  • Leading a full AI strategy within an international organisation
  • Highly sought-after expertise to build your career on
  • A seat at the heart of the association’s decisions

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 shown on each role page.
