Become a Founding Volunteer at RIYO

Application Timeline and Next Steps

The deadline to submit your application is Saturday 25 July 2026 at 12pm.

All applications will be carefully reviewed. Due to the anticipated level of interest, only applicants selected for interview will be contacted.

Online video call interviews will take place in early August. Dates and times will be confirmed directly with shortlisted applicants.

You don't need direct experience in the media or creative industries to be considered for these roles. We're equally interested in your enthusiasm, transferable skills and genuine interest in RIYO's work and wider media and creative industries.

Our Commitment to Volunteers

At RIYO, we believe volunteering should be a positive and mutually rewarding experience.

We value the time, ideas and commitment our volunteers bring to the organisation, and we're equally committed to supporting their professional development through practical experience, learning, collaboration and access to new opportunities.

As RIYO grows, we want to recognise those who have helped build it.

While volunteering does not guarantee future paid work, we'll always consider our existing volunteer team first for suitable paid opportunities. Any opportunities will be offered based on the needs of the role and the volunteer's skills, experience, performance and overall suitability.

Please continue with your application if you are happy with the information above.
