Community Volunteers’ Team Lead [SPI]

UNDP supports strategic capacity development initiatives to promote inclusive growth and sustainable human development. Together with national, regional and local authorities, civil societies, private sector, UNDP strives to support Ukraine in its efforts to eliminate poverty, develop people’s capacity, achieve equitable results, sustain the environment, and advance democratic governance. UNDP is in line with 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), to achieve national strategic capacity development.

The Tech Volunteers for Resilience (Tech4R) programme mobilizes skilled digital volunteers to co-create open-source solutions that strengthen disaster resilience. This assignment focuses on building digital tools and dashboards that support real-time decision-making in disaster contexts.
Youth centers across Ukraine are being restored and rebuilt following the destruction caused by the conflict.

To ensure inclusivity and accessibility in recovery processes, Tech4R and UNDP Ukraine are co-developing a digital self-assessment tool based on the Recommendations on Universal Design Principles for Youth Centers, created collaboratively by youth, youth workers, and experts.

The Team Lead will coordinate a multidisciplinary team of community UN Volunteers (developers, UX/UI designers, accessibility experts, and translators) to design, test, and deliver the tool, ensuring it meets accessibility standards and is user-friendly for center managers and youth representatives.

The Volunteer will provide support to the project team in:

Coordinating volunteer developers, UX/UI designers, and accessibility specialists in developing the digital tool.
Overseeing localization, interface design, and integration of the universal design checklist.
Ensuring compliance with international accessibility standards (WCAG).
Facilitating communication between Tech4R, UNDP Ukraine, and volunteers.
Supporting documentation, reporting, and the preparation of the final open-source release.

This is an unpaid volunteer assignment.
