Opportunity description:

 The Young Climate Warriors Ambassador Programme works to effectively initiate action-stimulating conversation and encourage critical thinking within an educational environment. Using our extensive network of primary schools across the UK, our Ambassadors deliver interactive, animated, in-person assemblies to allow pupils to engage with climate change in a positive, age-appropriate, and honest manner.

 Our Ambassadors are students from across the UK who:

• Are enthusiastic about starting conversations about climate change
• Are stubbornly optimistic about a positive future
• Are eager to engage primary school-aged children (previous experience a plus, but not necessary)
• Have strong communication skills, with an ability to use initiative
• Act professionally in all interactions with school staff and pupils

Training:

 After submitting an application, you will be invited to attend an online training session where we will fully prepare you for your position, providing resources and guidance for your assemblies.

 Once you have completed the training session, we will connect you with your local schools, and you can begin to arrange your first climate assembly as soon as you would like!

(All Young Climate Warriors Ambassadors must submit a valid DBS check in order to complete the application and training procedure.)

Skills and development:

• Develop personal and professional skills experience
• Valuable climate activism experience
• Presentation and engagement skills
• Become part of a wider network of climate activism organisations
