The role of a Young Ambassador

At the heart of the Young Ambassador programme is the principle that their views, and those of other young people are heard, valued and influence decision making; and that they are engaged in driving change.

In this context, a Young Ambassador has two key roles:

• to promote sport, and motivate and inspire other young people to get involved in sport in a wide range of settings within their local communities, including schools, clubs and community organisations
• to influence six key aspects of school sport:
  • extra-curricular sport provision
  • links to community sport opportunities
  • opportunities for competition
  • celebration of pupil achievements in sport
  • leadership opportunities for young people
  • PE in schools

As role models and leaders for other young people, Young Ambassadors can have a pivotal role within their school and wider community.
