Suffolk Ambassador Programme

  • Flexible delivery model of 12 weeks or tailored bespoke programmes for young people
  • Developing creative, innovative Youth Social Action experiences within various Art venues
  • Improving the opportunities for young people to create positive change in their communities through Youth Social Action

Through the Suffolk Ambassador programme, funded by National Citizen Service (NCS), we will work with young people aged 16-17 to discover their strengths as Youth Social Action Ambassadors.

We offer bespoke programmes which provides young people the option to attend a 12-week / 35 hours programme, or a bespoke programme designed by our team with them, or their learner provider.

Our programme works with the young person, school, college or alternative provision to offer opportunities to stretch their aspirations through youth social action.

If you’re interested in hosting our NCS funded programme at your youth provision please contact the team.

Our key objectives are to develop life skills, employability readiness, social action and social mixing
