URBAN DECODERS WANTED
Deadline - 10th December 2012
Passionate about your city and making it a better place to live for young people? Curious to know how your city
stands-up internationally from a youth perspective? Want to join a global network of people to take on this
challenge on the local level? If so, read on. Cities are definitely full of youth (we make up 50 per cent of their population and growing), BUT are they
“youthful”? – that’s a whole other question – one that we’re revving up to find out. We have our minds set on
ranking the world’s top 100 cities from a youthful perspective. Ambitious? Crazy, perhaps? But so are most things
that have never been done before. Are you just as curious as we are to discover the best (and worst) places around
the globe to live, work and play? If the answer is yes, send us a application for the opportunity to join a global
network of on-the-ground Urban Decoders as we embark on this exciting, dynamic – and no doubt, challenging–
pursuit of uncovering Youthful Cities.
ROLE
YOUTHFULCITIES is a huge, complicated, exciting, global, social venture. We’re seeking Urban Decoders
across the globe to help launch the initiative. As the local on-the-ground point person and lead representative

๏ Building, Managing, Developing relationships on the local level
๏ Liaising with a global network of 24 other Urban Decoders
๏ Providing valuable insight in framing, forming and directing the initiative
๏ Participating in finalizing the YouthfulCities Indicators that measure a city’s youthfulness
๏ Managing the coordination and collection of Youthful City data
๏ Documenting the process & collecting stories of what youth want in their cities (there’s room to get creative)
๏ Hosting local events
๏ Finding organizations, businesses, agencies that are youth friendly
๏ Participating in a global summit of your finding
URBAN DECODER ATTRIBUTES
We are looking for a youthful person who can really get things done:
๏ Connected, Dynamic and Extroverted – You will need to find and meet lots of people so you better love being
socially connected
๏ Tech savvy – fear of technology won’t cut it because there will be lots at the centre of the venture
๏ Curious, Resourceful and Resilient – someone with tricks up their sleeve to meet the challenge of collecting the
data for the indicators
๏ Creative flexible problem solver – always critical in start-ups to be able to find new and better directions
๏ Thoughtful – Not all information is created equally. We need a great analyst and cultural translator
๏ Culturally Empathetic – It’s a global project and we need to act like it all the time
๏ Super Organized – archiving knowledge, sorting contacts…you name it
WHY JOIN US?
