The opportunity

Love the web? Want to be part of an exciting online project? Our new website called Lifetracks is all about helping young people make decisions about their work, training and study options. We want our site to inspire and inform young people as well as supporting them through some of the biggest decisions they'll ever make.

We're looking for people aged 13-25 to help us make the new website the best work,learning and skills resource on the web.

It's a great opportunity to learn more about how websites are developed over time and to make sure that the site meets the needs of the people who will use it.

You will be invited to take part in an exclusive online community to discuss and debate ideas that will directly shape the content and functionality of the website.

Work is already underway and we need your support through testing, creating content and providing ongoing feedback on its' progress.

This is a virtual volunteering role but there will be opportunities to take part in offline meetings and groups as the project progresses.

The organisation

YouthNet aims to create a socially inclusive environment where young people living in the UK are engaged, informed and inspired to achieve their ambitions and dreams. We deliver high-quality information, signposting and frontline emotional support primarily through the internet, but increasingly through mobile phones, digital interactive TV and hand-held devices - the tools that are central to the way young people communicate. We do this through our two award-winning websites: TheSite.org, which provides support and guidance to 16-24 year olds; and do-it.org.uk, which links users to volunteering opportunities through the National Volunteering Database. We've formed groundbreaking partnerships, developed our very own software, helped to inspire people from diverse backgrounds to volunteer, and given millions of young people the advice and support they need to live their lives with confidence.
