The Youth Ambassador program is a 6-month emerging leadership opportunity for youth to facilitate and nurture their leadership skills to contribute to youth empowerment and social development. It is a youth connect initiative to promote volunteerism, create a community of volunteers, lead a social incubation hub and work together to create initiatives that bring sustainable changes in society. Through the program, we aim to empower, strengthen and groom the youth of India to be a changemaker in society.
The Youth Ambassadors are passionate youth who take action in their community by organising volunteers and facilitating initiatives to promote Volunteerism and United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The Youth Ambassadors recruit, mentor and lead other young people to address injustices in their communities. It aims to invest in the power, creativity and impact of youth by providing volunteer leadership positions specifically youth within Social Solutions India. The program is an opportunity to expand their leadership skills and knowledge about their regions, in order to develop visionary leaders who can be youth mobilizers and changemakers of the present and the future. The Youth Ambassadors’ responsibilities are to develop social projects, creating community spaces for young people in their regions to connect, share ideas and learning and support one another. The Youth Ambassador will receive training, mentorship and support. Through their service, Ambassadors will build important skills and connect to a community of like-minded youth from around the world.
