Become a YMN Volunteer

We believe in the power of collaboration, and that includes the contributions of dedicated volunteers. At the Young Mobility Network, volunteering means actively shaping the future of mobility while growing alongside a passionate, purpose-driven community. Our volunteers support everything from event planning and community engagement to content creation and project coordination. By getting involved, you’ll gain hands-on experience, expand your professional network, and help build a more inclusive and innovative mobility ecosystem. Whether you have a few hours a month or want to take on a larger role - there’s a place for your energy and ideas with us.

Ready to Make a Difference?

Volunteering with YMN is your chance to make an impact, grow your network, and gain valuable skills while shaping the future of mobility.

Volunteering at YMN is a Choice for Growth – Yours and Ours

Volunteering is a conscious commitment, made freely and with purpose. At the Young Mobility Network, we believe in creating mutual value: while you support our mission, we support your personal and professional development. Your time and energy are deeply appreciated – and we’re committed to making it worthwhile for both sides.

Our Commitment to You as a Volunteer

At the Young Mobility Network, we deeply value the time, energy, and passion our volunteers contribute. Our commitment to you includes providing a clear role description, guidance, and access to the information you need to carry out your role effectively. We strive to create opportunities for you to strengthen existing skills and develop new ones, where desired and appropriate. You’ll be kept in the loop through regular communication about our plans, activities, and strategy. And if needed, we’re happy to provide a reference to support your future professional or volunteer endeavours.

What Our YMN Volunteers Are Saying

  • "Getting involved with the Young Mobility Network means, for me, strengthening the visibility of young professionals and creating opportunities for networking. Whether it's at a local Meetup, on an excursion to a company in the mobility sector, or in building a mentoring program – I especially enjoy actively contributing my ideas to the network and getting to know many inspiring people along the way!

    Kristina Grodt, Regional Hub Manager Hamburg & Mentoring Programme Coordinator

  • “At the Young Mobility Network, you meet many like-minded people - but still always gain new perspectives. More than once during our meetups, I’ve thought to myself that the world is smaller than we think. I'm happy if I can contribute to connecting young people. That’s exactly what our industry needs. Because mobility connects people.”

    Daniel Meurer, Regional Hub Manager Hamburg

  • “As a Regional Hub Manager, I have the opportunity to actively contribute in my chosen home and take on the fantastic task of bringing together mobility enthusiasts. It's truly wonderful to exchange ideas with people from so many different areas of mobility and to develop ideas and visions together.”

    Laura Flechsig, Regional Hub Manager Munich

  • “The YMN is simply needed in the world of mobility! Young people with a passion for mobility who can exchange ideas and network in an informal setting. The additional commitment as a volunteer has positive side effects. Being part of a motivated team is fun and at the same time has a "purpose". It has the character of a small village association, but is now active throughout Germany and Europe."”

    Patrick Erdmann, Business Development

  • “The network and its people inspire me with new ideas, opportunities and future prospects in the industry and beyond. It's fun to spin ideas and realise them together - I'm particularly motivated by the hand-on mentality.”

    Sebastian Amaritza, Mentoring Programme Coordinator
