Football For Future Summer Academy

About Football For Future

Football For Future is a UK-based non-profit driving global climate action through football culture. 

Our work spans campaigns, research, analysis, education, and player engagement — using the world’s most popular sport to make climate change visible, relatable, and actionable. 

Alongside our climate work, we are developing innovative football-based educational programmes that use the game as a platform for learning, personal development and cultural exchange.

This summer, we are delivering a new three-day programme for young people that combines football, sustainability, culture and personal development through workshops, guest speakers and unique experiences across the game.

We are looking for a Programme & Outreach Coordinator to help make that happen.

About the Role

We are looking for a proactive and organised Programme & Outreach Coordinator to help ensure the successful delivery of the Football For Future Summer Academy. 

The programme has already been designed. The focus now is on recruiting participants, coordinating logistics, managing communications and making sure everything is in place ahead of delivery. 

This is not a facilitation role. Instead, you'll help bring together the people, plans and processes needed to deliver a successful programme. You will act as the organisational hub of the project, helping turn a well-developed concept into a successful pilot programme.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead outreach to schools, football clubs, foundations and youth organisations to help recruit participants

  • Manage enquiries, registrations, participant onboarding and deposits

  • Coordinate speakers, activities, partners and programme logistics

  • Keep timelines, communications and actions organised across the wider team

  • Support budgeting, invoices, payments and general programme administration

What Success Looks Like

  • The programme recruits a strong cohort of participants

  • Speakers, activities and logistics are confirmed ahead of launch

  • Participant communications run smoothly

  • The team remains organised and aligned throughout planning

  • The programme is fully prepared for successful delivery

Who We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who is:

  • Proactive, organised and able to work independently

  • A strong communicator and relationship builder

  • Comfortable managing multiple tasks and stakeholders

  • Confident with spreadsheets, administration and budgeting

  • Interested in football, education, youth development or social impact

Experience in programme coordination, outreach, events, sport, education or community engagement is desirable.

Contract: Freelance / Fixed-term

Duration: Immediate start to mid-August 2026

Final Note

This is a unique opportunity to help launch an ambitious new football education programme at an exciting stage of development.

You will play a central role in helping TEFA recruit its first cohort, deliver a successful pilot, and build the foundations for a programme that aims to become a leading youth football and cultural experience in the years ahead.
