Location: Hybrid - Online & In-Person (London-based preferred)

Commitment: Part-time (approx. 6–10 hrs/week)

Type: Volunteer / Internship (with perks, access, and growth potential)

WHO WE ARE:

FORE is more than a brand - it’s a movement. A grassroots creative community built at the intersection of fashion, music, culture, and collaboration. We run disruptive events, drop limited products, and build spaces (online and IRL) that support the next generation of creatives.

We exist to bridge the gap between talent and opportunity, and we’re building the ecosystem we wish existed when we started.

ABOUT THE ROLE:

We’re looking for a Community Lead to become the connective tissue between our audience, our platforms, and our events. This is a people-powered role - you’ll help us engage our growing community, bring energy to our group chats and spaces, and make sure people feel seen, heard, and involved.

You’ll help manage our WhatsApp channels, support activations and events, and keep the vibe alive through consistent communication and connection. If you’ve got people skills, organisational energy and a real love for creative culture - this one’s for you.
