Youth Endowment Fund - Race Equity Associates
YEF’s Commitment to Race Equity
Children from Black, Asian and other minority backgrounds are significantly overrepresented at all stages in the youth justice system. Black children are four times as likely to be arrested as White children. And, as of May 2019, more than half of the children in youth custody were from Black, Asian or other minority backgrounds. Clearly, there is a problem – in the criminal justice system and our wider society.
The Youth Endowment Fund’s mission is to prevent children and young people from becoming involved in violence. Because of this disproportionality, it’s clear that if we don’t challenge the role that racism plays in young people’s experiences of youth justice, education and access to employment and mental health support, we won’t be able to make the difference we’re here to bring about. This means that – both as an employer and a What Works Centre – we need to make sure that we are considering the impact on children from Black, Asian and other minority backgrounds in our decision-making.
You can find out more about our race equity commitments here and review our 1st published report on our progress here.
We know that we won’t have all the answers and that we’ll make mistakes. We also know that we’ll improve by partnering with those with lived experience of the issues we seek to address and those who have direct experience of making a difference on issues of race equity, within organisations, their communities or the wider systems and structures in which we exist.
We are therefore building a pool of Race Equity Associates, with specific areas of expertise, on a broad range of issues within sectors that matter to the mission of preventing youth violence. We want to be challenged, to work together and to use your suggestions on how to improve.
The role of the Race Equity Associate
At the Youth Endowment Fund, we’re here to prevent children and young people becoming involved in violence. We do this by finding out what works and building a movement to put this knowledge into practice.
To make the most difference over the ten years of our endowment, we’ve selected a set of sectors where we’ll concentrate our funding and learning. In each area, we’ll review the evidence to see where the gaps are, we’ll invest in projects, research and evaluators to find out what does and doesn’t work, and we’ll build coalitions and partnerships to put what we learn into action.
To learn more about our sectors, click here.
Within these sectors, we want to partner with a Race Equity Associate, with deep knowledge and understanding of the area. They will work alongside us as we assess the current evidence, engage stakeholders and identify the best opportunities for change. They will help us to understand the specific role racism plays in our sectors and what it looks like to design racially sensitive and equitable interventions to support children and young people. In doing so, they will give us the best chance at addressing racial disproportionality in the criminal justice system and understanding what works for children from Black, Asian and other minority backgrounds.
But we also know that we cannot address issues of racism and disproportionality as a funder without also looking inward, to our own practices and culture as an organisation. Therefore, we’re also work with Race Equity Associates with specific expertise and depth of experience in driving race equity work within organisations. They will help us to fulfil our race equity commitments by looking at specific topics such as the way we retain and train our team.
The role of a Race Equity Associate will typically involve:
Leading a training session with our team on the role racism plays in your area of expertise, sharing from your experience and knowledge on the issue.
Partnering with the internal team tasked with understanding the area, identifying the opportunities for change and designing funding rounds to generate evidence. You’ll review and provide feedback and challenge on the materials we develop, serving as a critical friend and issue area expert.
Making sure we’re talking to a broad range of stakeholders to help inform our understanding of racism within the area of focus.
Helping our team to work through issues or questions as they arise throughout the entire lifecycle of a funding round or internal project.
Who are we looking for?
We are looking for Race Equity Associates with expertise and experience in:
One of YEF’s main sectors, which you can find here. While we are open to applications from individuals with experience in any of the sectors, we will be particularly interested in those with expertise in:
Policing - Violence prevention strategies that involve the police and focus on the individuals most likely to be involved in serious violence.
Youth justice - Diverting children from formal criminal justice processes to positive support.
Children Services - we’ll work to find out how we can best support children at risk of harm and involvement or violence inside or outside the home, and their families and carers’
Inclusive workplace practices, including onboarding, retention, training and culture building.
We’re interested in applicants from a range of sectors, including research, academia, grant making, government, policing, youth work and community engagement.
Applicants can be freelancers, sole contractors or working as part of organisations, provided they can commit to a minimum involvement of five days on any focus area or project they are commissioned to support. For this work, YEF will compensate Race Equity Associates at a rate of £650 per day.
Your application to become a YEF Race Equity Associate will be most successful if you have:
A significant degree of expertise in the role race and disproportionality plays in one of YEF’s sectors. For example, this could look like someone who has worked previously to address racial disproportionality in the care system.
Experience and a proven track record working to improve racial diversity, equality, and inclusion within your area of expertise.
An understanding of the historical and political context in which the YEF’s research and evaluation work operates.
Ability to work independently, seeking input from relevant team stakeholders throughout.
While not a requirement, we do encourage applications from individuals (or individuals within organisations) with lived experience of violence.
How to apply
To apply, submit the following information, complete the monitoring form and click on the 'apply' by 9:00am Tuesday the 27th of August 2024.
1.A CV or organisational summary
2.A cover letter including the following:

For each initiative or project, please describe your role (e.g. team leader, team member), the purpose of the activity (i.e. its aims), the major contributions you personally made.
3.Two professional references who are happy to be contacted.
It’s important to us that the people we hire do not discriminate. We believe in being inclusive and giving everyone an equal chance to succeed. Applications are welcome from all regardless of age, sex, gender identity, disability, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, religion or belief, race, sexual orientation, transgender status or social economic background.
Interviews
We will be interviewing and confirming on a rolling basis, so will close the date early if we're able to.
