Description

WWF-UK is looking to engage an agency specialising in working with and for young people. This agency will support WWF-UK to supercharge its work directly engaging young people, empowering, and supporting them to play a strategic role in the work of the organisation, through a youth board style approach.

Deliverables:

Geographical demographics: 5 England, 3 Scotland, 3 Wales & 3 Northern Ireland. Urban and rural.
Weighted towards underrepresented groups in the environment and sustainability sectors
A balance of socio-economic background, gender, and ethnicity (as a guideline - 50% gender split, at least 50% from a minority ethnic background, 14% identify as having a disability).
All members commit for 18months - January 2023-July 2024, however, we recognise that due to personal circumstances, some young people may leave prior to this date.
A combination of virtual and in person get togethers. Work with WWF-UK Sustainable Futures team to establish frequency, in order to maintain engagement throughout the programme. These get togethers to be of a high standard, including:
A thoughtful, safe, and structured approach has been taken to help all members feel engaged, informed, and able to attend each meeting.
Pressure points of each age are taken into consideration and accounted for.
Personal and professional development opportunities are supported according to individual interests, varying from public speaking or blog writing, to problem solving or communication skills.
