What is the Young Ambassadors Board?
The Young Ambassadors Board is an empowering way for young people, like you, to have a say in the running of Action for Children. And you get to gain new skills and experiences along the way.

By taking part in discussions and activities, you'll play an important role in representing young people’s voices and making sure your views are heard.

What will I do as a Young Ambassadors?
Members of our Young Ambassadors Board will:

• Attend fun online monthly meet-ups.
• Work with other young people on action projects which will explore mental health and wellbeing, family support, disability and children in care.
• Speak to our staff and trustees, to let us know what we're doing right and what we can be doing better by sharing your views and advice on matters that affect young people today.
• Have fun, develop new skills, make new friends and take part in exciting opportunities all while making a difference.

Is it free to join?
Yes. This group is free to join, with meetings taking place online once a month

What influence will I have?
Your feedback and experiences will help to inform, shape and influence what we do and the decisions we make as a children’s charity.

You'll work closely with staff from across Action for Children, including senior leaders and the trustees. 

There'll also be opportunities to travel across the country, take part in fun projects, exciting events, high-profile campaigns and so much more!

Can I apply for the role?
The Young Ambassadors Board is for young people from all backgrounds, aged between 13-25, who live in the UK.
