Description

UK Youth for Nature is a youth-led organisation of 16-35-year-olds across the UK. Our main objective is to create the political pressure needed, from young people, on governments and politicians to stop and reverse the nature crisis in the UK.

UK Youth for Nature has two main goals: develop and deliver creative campaigning activity with our volunteers to drive change for nature, and training and educating our team to give them the skills to campaign effectively.

Our organisation has grown exponentially over the last three years and we are in a significant scale-up period, including growing volunteer numbers, funding and volume of campaigning activity. Over the last three years we have undertaken significant legal, financial, and organisational change to build the long term sustainability of the organisation both financially and at an organisational structural level.
