ABOUT THE TEAM

YouthShare Initiatives brings together young people from several continents around five labs. In each country where the association takes root, a Country Coordinator organises its presence, and YouthShare announces that presence once the country team is in place.

YOUR ASSIGNMENTS

• Build YouthShare’s roadmap for your country with the General Coordinator, then report on its progress every quarter

• Bring together and lead the country team: online meet-ups, mutual support, and welcoming new members with the Talent team

• Connect members in the country with the five labs: research avenues, debates, calls for contributions, projects

• Support the country’s YouthShare clubs with the YouthShare Clubs Coordinator, who guides each club from its launch to its reviews

• Coordinate the work of each City Coordinator in the country, who brings YouthShare to life in their city, and of each YouthShare Ambassador, who shares the association’s calls through their networks

• Give the Southern Compass correspondents in the country, who document local realities, access to contacts, field sites and introductions

• Identify universities, youth organisations and institutions in the country that YouthShare can work with, and introduce them to the Head of Partnerships & Institutional Relations, who leads each partnership

• Build the country’s calendar of meet-ups with the clubs and events team, which each City Coordinator then runs in their city

• Prepare the announcement of YouthShare’s presence in the country with the communication team, once the team is in place and the decision is taken with the Board

PROFILE WE ARE LOOKING FOR

• Residence in the country you coordinate, and a good knowledge of its universities, youth organisations and institutions

• Experience leading a team, a non-profit or a project

• Initiative and strong organisation, remotely and in person

• Tact and a feel for representing an organisation

NICE TO HAVE

• Experience in a youth organisation, a club or a student network

• A network in the country’s universities or civil society

• Good English and French, and a language of the country

WHAT THIS ROLE GIVES YOU

• Leading the country team of an international association

• Building a presence, from the first team to the first partnerships

• A network in your country and across YouthShare’s five labs

• A direct line to the General Coordinator

A VOLUNTEER ROLE, OPEN TO YOUNG PEOPLE

Every role we offer is fully 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. We weigh your motivation and potential as carefully as your track record.

HOW SELECTION WORKS

• Online application on our website: apply online

• Profile review: the Talent team reads every application and sends a first reply by email within three days on average.

• Video interview: a conversation to get to know each other and shape the assignment together.

• Decision and arrival: our answer by email, then a welcome to the team and access to its tools.
