Youth board & ambassadors
Our ThinkForward ambassadors are young people who support ThinkForward’s vision by representing the programme on behalf of their peers both internally and externally.
Ambassadors are responsible for working alongside their peers and their coach to use their voice and experiences on the programme to improve outcomes for all ThinkForward young people. Ambassadors support several internal activities which inform decision making at ThinkForward. This includes programme design, research, evaluation, fundraising, and recruitment of new staff. Ambassadors also use their role as advocates on young people’s rights and issues that are a priority to their community.
We are working to increase young people’s decision making and leadership on the programme through the creation of a youth board which will support the governance of ThinkForward.
