The amazing work that YouthNet does wouldn’t be possible without the people who work and volunteer here. YouthNet is based in offices in central London, and we’re grouped into a number of directorates that all work towards achieving our organisation’s mission.
Central Services and CEO
Central to everything we do, our Central Services team ensures the smooth running, effectiveness and excellent administration of the organisation. The team supports the Chief Executive and Board of Trustees with charity administration, assists the senior management team to ensure good organisational management and provides human resources leadership on the management of staff, volunteers and external freelancers and consultants. Our Chief Executive provides leadership and guidance, and is crucial in shaping the organisations vision and strategy.
Development and Marketing
The Development and Marketing team raises money to ensure that YouthNet is a well-resourced charity and awareness of what our organisation does.
A team of skilled fundraisers build and manage relationships with funders from companies, government and charitable trusts and foundations to ensure that YouthNet is a social business that can meet and exceed its objectives. Contact the Development team if you would like to discuss a funding partnership or want to support us through individual giving.
Our experienced researcher provides intelligence and research to support YouthNet, while marketing and communications professionals support internal teams and provide a consistent perception of YouthNet and its brands across all stakeholders and beneficiaries. Contact our press team if you are a journalist or the marketing team if you would like to discuss a marketing opportunity.
Operations
The Operations team manages our websites and partnership work on a day-to-day basis. They are focused on working with partners to create engaging, useful services and editorial content for visitors to the sites. The team includes experienced journalists, online community experts and project managers, who work tirelessly to manage ongoing relationships with key partners and content providers. They also recruit content providers such as national charities, youth organisations, government bodies and not-for-profit organisations. Contact the Operations team if you would like to discuss opportunities to work collaboratively with YouthNet, or get involved as a contributor or have any suggestions about improving our sites and services.
Technical
YouthNet is committed to harnessing technology for the delivery of valuable user services. This relies on having a sound IT infrastructure and a collection of people skilled in building and maintaining this infrastructure. Our technical team includes software programmers, technical project managers, IT support staff and systems specialists, who together, create a solid platform on which we can build our services. They also support our partners with their technical needs. Contact the technical team if you think you could help us improve our systems.
Board of Trustees
YouthNet’s Trustees are collectively responsible for setting the strategic direction and objectives of our organisation. They ensure that YouthNet operates within the legal and financial guidelines set out by law and are fulfilling the charity’s objectives as set out in its constitution. They work closely with the Chief Executive and other senior staff in defining overall policy, setting targets and monitoring performance. More about our Trustees.
