YHA Board Recruitment Committee - Association Members

YHA enables everyone, especially young people, to connect with each other, nature and heritage through hostels in amazing places throughout England and Wales. Since 1930, we’ve been increasing access to travel and adventure. It’s our aim to reach and positively impact the lives of more people from more diverse backgrounds. And we target our support to young people and groups from underserved communities.

Right now, our Board Recruitment Committee is looking for new members to help us find and shortlist candidates for YHA Trustee elections. The committee includes a Chair, a YHA Trustee, a member from what was our Youth Advisory team (now Youth Voice panel), and two Association Members. We currently have two Association Member spots open, and we'd love for you to join us!

Benefits Of Joining The Board Recruitment Committee

• Make a difference: Help shape YHA's future by selecting top candidates for Trustee positions.
• Develop skills: Gain experience in recruitment, interviewing, and strategic decision-making.
• Networking: Connect with passionate YHA members and build valuable relationships.
• Contribute to a worthy cause: Support a charity dedicated to making travel and adventure accessible to all.
• Leadership experience: Enhance your leadership skills and understanding of charity governance.
  
  

Who can apply? If you're a YHA member, you're eligible to apply! The committee will review applications, interview selected candidates and choose who to put forward for the election.

What are we looking for? We seek candidates with the skills to help us shortlist a diverse range of high-quality candidates for the Trustee elections.

We understand that lived experiences can be just as vital as professional expertise. At YHA, we value a wide range of backgrounds, believing they enrich our work and enhance our impact.

• The commitment is virtual attendance at Board Recruitment Committee meetings, with five to six meetings throughout the year together with additional virtual meetings (March to October) to select and interview Trustee candidates to put forward to the Trustee election.
