Registrations now open for 2023/24 programme
Our storytelling approach means we pick up engagement with young people across several different topics and different start points. Young people have delivered youth social action on areas including sexual harassment, knife crime, mental health, racism, discrimination, poverty, and homelessness.
The impact has not only been great on young people but also schools themselves with over 150 teachers engaged and learning through programme delivery.
By becoming a London Young Ambassador / Mental Health Ambassador young people will build brighter futures for themselves, their peers and communities across London.
