Football v Homophobia Youth Panel Application

The Football v Homophobia Youth Panel is an initiative set up by young people, for young people, with the aim of influencing the core team and their work to better incorporate young people to the campaign. As well as taking the Football v Homophobia campaign to young people. 

Instead of recruiting twelve young people to join the panel and work across all the different strands of our strategy, we will be recruiting young people into  specific roles.

Applicants must be aged between 16-20 and we encourage applicants from diverse backgrounds, and with lived experience. We are a UK based panel and would really like to see applicants from across all UK countries. 

 

The two Social Media Officers will have the responsibility of managing content published across social media platforms, ensuring that regular and appropriate content is produced. They will encourage other Youth Panel members to create content or write blog pieces, as well as source blog posts from relevant people outside the campaign.  The Social Media Officers will ensure that the diversity and intersectionality of our campaign is reflected on our channels. 

The Education Officers will be confident individuals who have skills in public speaking or want to develop it further. They will liaise with youth groups and youth football groups to arrange 101 LGBTIQ+ training with them, the Education Officers will then deliver the 101 training. The Education Officers will design new and innovative training options for young people

The Events Officers will ensure there is a Youth Panel presence at a wide range of sporting and non-sporting events, to promote the Youth Panel and Football v Homophobia campaign. They will source and reach out to organisations to attend events, coordinate members to attend local events and ensure members have required resources for events.
