Lead Global Change: Apply for the MYCP Global Coordinator Role (Remote, Full-Time)

Are you ready to lead global efforts that amplify the voices of young migrants? The Migration Youth & Children Platform (MYCP) is now recruiting a Global Coordinator to drive its next phase of growth and impact. This fully remote, full-time leadership role offers a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of youth advocacy, migration policy, and international collaboration—while shaping global conversations within key United Nations spaces. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, with priority given to those submitted by 12 April 2026.

About the Opportunity

The Migration Youth & Children Platform (MYCP) is a youth-led global initiative that creates space for children and young people (up to 31 years old) to actively engage in international policy processes, particularly within the United Nations system. Since its founding in 2018, MYCP has played a key role in amplifying youth voices in global migration discussions, contributing to platforms such as the Global Compact on Migration (GCM) and the Global Forum on Migration and Development (GFMD).

Following a period of internal transformation, MYCP is entering a new chapter and is seeking a Global Coordinator to lead its Secretariat. This role is central to the organization’s operations and strategic direction, ensuring that its mission to promote meaningful youth engagement remains at the forefront.

The Global Coordinator will oversee daily operations, manage teams, engage with global partners, and represent MYCP in high-level international spaces. This is a leadership role that combines strategy, operations, and advocacy, making it ideal for candidates with experience in global migration, youth engagement, and multi-stakeholder coordination.

Why This Opportunity Matters

Youth voices—especially those of migrants and displaced communities—are often underrepresented in global decision-making processes. MYCP plays a critical role in ensuring that these voices are not only heard but actively shape policies that affect them.

The Global Coordinator position is essential to sustaining and expanding this impact. By leading MYCP’s Secretariat, the selected candidate will help bridge the gap between youth perspectives and international policy-making, ensuring that global frameworks reflect real experiences and needs.

This role is particularly important at a time when migration remains a key global issue. Strengthening youth participation in these discussions contributes to more inclusive, equitable, and effective policies, benefiting communities worldwide.

What You’ll Gain

This role offers significant professional and personal development opportunities:

• Global Leadership Experience: Lead an international youth platform engaging with UN processes and global stakeholders.
• Career Growth: Strengthen your expertise in migration policy, advocacy, and organizational leadership.
• Global Network: Collaborate with UN agencies, partners, donors, and youth leaders worldwide.
• Strategic Impact: Shape initiatives that influence global migration discussions and youth participation.
• Flexible Work Environment: Work remotely while engaging across diverse regions and time zones.

This opportunity is ideal for individuals looking to advance their leadership in global advocacy spaces and make a meaningful impact on migration policy and youth inclusion.

Eligibility

To be considered for the MYCP Global Coordinator role, applicants should meet the following requirements:

• Strong knowledge of global migration advocacy spaces, including GCM, GFMD, and UN processes
• Proven experience in team management, project coordination, and multi-stakeholder initiatives
• Excellent organizational and communication skills
• Fluency in English (additional UN languages are an advantage)
• Ability to work independently across multiple time zones
• Familiarity with tools such as Google Workspace, Slack, Zoom, and collaborative platforms

Desirable qualifications include lived experience of migration, experience in fundraising or donor relations, and previous involvement in youth-led or global initiatives. Prior experience with MYCP is also an advantage but not mandatory.
