Youth Voice Officer (Maternity Cover)

About the Youth Endowment Fund

We’re here to prevent children and young people becoming involved in violence. We do this by finding out what works and building a movement to put this knowledge into practice.

It’s critical to our mission that we understand how and why young people become involved in violence. The YEF’s work combines conducting rigorous evaluations and research studies with hearing directly from young people – their individual stories and perspectives.

As a part of the Youth Understanding team, you will play a vital role in supporting young people to use their experiences and voices to shape, support, and amplify YEF’s work through the YEF’s Youth Advisory Board (YAB).
