• Culture: to establish a culture for the Board and to promote that culture through the Executive Team and the rest of the organisation.

• Governance:
  • To oversee & support the performance of the Executive Team in delivering this strategy.
  • To ensure that YFF complies with its legal and regulatory requirements.

You’ll be willing to make a strategic contribution as a key member of the board and bring a background in one of the following areas; Youth sector funders & providers, access to employer communities, or grassroots youth engagement.
