  • Communicate effectively the networks and its members’ activities through a double-reporting line to the Network Managers and SDSN Youth.

Benefits

In becoming part of the team as a Deputy Network Coordinator, individuals will be responsible for creating and fostering strong relationships on campuses around the country/region in order to drive youth-led and youth-focused solutions to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

  • Representing SDSN Youth at different levels whenever possible and if appropriate;
  • Attending global conferences and decision-making processes whenever possible and if appropriate;

  • Engage with key stakeholders from government, NGOs to private sector;
  • Build a personal brand around sustainability and the SDGs;
  • Publish articles and blogs about causes they care about whenever possible;
