London, United Kingdom WAGGGS Full time

Job description

**About Us**

For over 100 years, Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting has been supporting girls to become active global citizens through non-formal education, the development of shared values and life skills. Free to make what they want from the Movement, girls learn by doing, make friends and have fun. In brave, local spaces, girls develop the skills and attitudes to change themselves, their communities and our world.

The World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) connects over ten million Girl Guides and Girls Scouts from 153 countries, we are a global team of staff and volunteers from around the world and work in four official languages. We keep the global Movement thriving, united and growing. Our strengths lie in innovative non-formal education programmes, leadership development, advocacy and community action.

**Job Purpose**

The main purpose of this role is to support the international Girl Guide and Girl Scout Movement to improve its meaningful youth participation practice and increase its capacity to be led by girls and young women.

**Key Responsibilities**

Mainstream Meaningful Youth Participation
- Work with the Youth Voice Volunteer Team to support capacity building in Member Organisations*, this may include:

- Delivering workshops about meaningful youth participation.
- Creating tailored action plans with Member Organisations.
- Developing resources to support meaningful youth participation projects at national to local level.
- Collaborate with different WAGGGS teams to embed meaningful youth participation into event planning and delivery, for example:

- Ensuring youth participation is happening throughout the planning and delivery process.
- If an event is aimed at young people, supporting the programme to be relevant, exciting, accessible and learner-led for the participants.
- Champion intergenerational leadership** to make sure everyone knows they have a part to play in a Movement led by girls and young women.
- Put the principles of diversity, equity and inclusion into action by not taking a ‘one size fits all’ approach to work.
- Take the time to understand cultural context and local barriers and the different experiences and perspectives on youth participation young people may have in different contexts, before deciding your approach and be prepared to adapt along the way.
- WAGGGS is a membership-based organisation - we have 153 different national Member Organisations who directly deliver Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting in their country.

**Intergenerational leadership is young people and adults working together, building on each other's knowledge and experiences to bring about positive change

Support Young People in Governance
- Monitor and evaluate the implementation of existing recommendations produced by youth-led research into young women in governance.
- Assess what is needed to continue to grow WAGGGS’s meaningful youth participation practice in the governance space.
- Collaborate with the WAGGGS Governance Team to put into action recommendations.

Ensure Meaningful Participation of Girls and Young Women
- Support the participation of girls and young women in WAGGGS activities across the organisation through, for example,
- Helping to implement safeguarding policies and procedures.
- Checking written content to ensure that it is clear and accessible.
- Advising on how to make sure young people feel meaningfully included.
- Identifying practical ways so that every and any girl can take part in WAGGGS opportunities, taking into account our global diversity and range of languages, time zones and contexts.
