Our course has been specially designed to gather the insights of the world's leading experts on six fundamental aspects of a happy and meaningful life: Gratitude, Self-Care, Relationships, Resilience, Kindness, and Meaning. It is a very impactful (many say life-changing) experience.

We are committed to developing and retaining Ambassadors that are representative of the diverse communities that we serve. We’re striving to build an inclusive workplace culture where everyone feels valued and diversity is celebrated by everyone.

We encourage people from all sections of the community to apply to be ambassadors. We particularly welcome applications from people living in Wales, Devon, Cornwall and the Midlands, young parents and people receiving benefits, because these groups are currently under-represented in our ambassadors.

Length of role:

One year minimum, with an option to continue on further. Ambassadors are aged between 16 and 25.

Role purpose:

To work alongside the existing Youth Ambassadors, to bring your own knowledge and experience, passion and enthusiasm to the group.

Ambassadors also work to support the work of the Coalition in other ways including attending meetings, working with member charities.

Between that you may spend a couple of hours a month working on projects that interest you. Youth Ambassadors are remunerated for their time spent volunteering at a rate equivalent to the London Living Wage. This can either be with money via a bank transfer or with vouchers. We do not provide payment for taking part in media interviews, to ensure you never feel like you have to do these.

What’s in it for you? You will have the opportunity to work alongside a likeminded group of young people, who all want to ensure no child in the UK is growing up in poverty. We provide you with training on areas like campaigning and public speaking, you can find out how charities work, and we can use any existing skills and talents you have like drawing, video making etc. to influence MPs.
