Youth Advocate (2026)

At the Woodland Trust, we know that young people are at the heart of the climate issue with little opportunities in the nature space in return. With our current programmes restricted to limited numbers, we recognise the need to create a volunteer role that helps to bridge that gap. This opportunity is a light touch, ad hoc role with no minimum requirement of volunteer hours. We will contact you with opportunities such as consultation meetings, learning opportunities, events that may be of interest and other ways you can have a voice in the things we do for woods, people and the planet.

This role is open to anyone ages 16-25 years.

To achieve our vision of a world where woods and trees thrive for people and nature, we need to better reflect society and the communities we work in. All people, no matter their background, identity, ability, or circumstance, should benefit from trees. People of colour and disabled people are currently under-represented across the environment and conservation sector. If you identify as a person of colour and/or disabled, we particularly encourage you to apply.

Please contact us to discuss any additional support or adjustments you may need to complete your application.
