The Skill Our Future initiative, co-led by UNDP and other partners, aims to create digital pathways for youth, enhancing their employability and empowering them to thrive as globally engaged citizens contributing to sustainable development locally and beyond. With a marked context focus on providing opportunities for youth from underserved communities, the programme equips young people with the necessary 21st-century and digital skills they need to prepare for the future of work. More information can be found at https://www.skillourfuture.org/learn.

For the Skill Our Future initiative, we seek support from 15 Online Volunteers, who under the guidance of the Youth Empowerment team will:
– Support in coordinating with participants, providing information, answering questions, and addressing concerns promptly and professionally.
– Support in coordinating with mentors and facilitators, ensuring they have the necessary resources and information to effectively support participants.
– Support in the compilation of feedback from both participants and mentors/facilitators to identify areas for improvement and ensure continuous program enhancement.
– Support in scheduling sessions and meetings between participants and mentors/facilitators, ensuring smooth logistical arrangements and clear communication.

The selected Online Volunteers will be provided with background information and material needed to support and implement the program. They will not be asked to participate or communicate with external parties of the Skill Our Future Initiative themselves without the guidance of the Youth Empowerment team.

Have graduated from or enrolled in the senior year of an undergraduate degree program in communication, social, political, education, or development-related disciplines.

Candidates should have:
o Previous experience in liaison or coordination roles, preferably in youth-focused programs.

o Strong written and verbal communication skills.
o Proficiency in using digital communication tools such as email, video conferencing platforms, and messaging apps.
