Website Design and Development Support

The Compact for Young People in Humanitarian Action (Youth Compact) is an unprecedented global collective commitment of over 60 humanitarian actors—including governments, UN entities, NGOs, and youth networks—working to ensure that the priorities, rights, and needs of young people affected by crises are addressed, and that youth are meaningfully engaged in emergency response.

The Youth Compact website serves as our primary portal for resources and networking. Because the Compact coordinates a vast network spanning global institutions and grassroots youth leaders, this digital restructuring is highly crucial. The platform must serve simultaneously as an open, accessible educational resource for the public and a secure, streamlined collaborative hub for internal members.

This Online Assignment is part of the 'Youth Compact 2026' initiative to transform our website into a dynamic storytelling platform. By combining content creation with rigorous editing, the Online Volunteers ensures our mission to transform the humanitarian system and support youth-led humanitarian action is communicated with both professional authority and creative energy. This contribution helps us reach diverse global stakeholders and non-native English speakers.

For this initiative, two Online Volunteers (one Technical/Web Design and one Editorial) will work in tandem under the close supervision and guidance of the Youth Compact Co-Chairs (the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and ActionAid International).

The Online Volunteers will conduct a technical audit, site map restructuring, and complete layout redesign of the Youth Compact website (www.youthcompact.info) on SquareSpace.
