Young Ambassadors

The Young Ambassador Programme

The Young Ambassador programme aims to see young people driving opportunity, engagement and change for other young people, using sport as a catalyst to do so.

It is designed to build the leadership skills of young people and as a result they are empowered to take on the following roles:

  • Be the youth voice for PE and school sport in their school and community
  • Promote the positive values of sport
  • Be a role model and champion for PE and school sport
  • Increase participation opportunities and healthy lifestyles for everyone.

Our Young Ambassador programme here at Denbighshire Leisure Limited helps to develop young leaders and encourage people to take part in sport. They are selected due to showing commitment or skills as young leaders or volunteers in sport.

Types of Young Ambassadors

There are different types of Young Ambassadors, each type has different responsibilities and skills needed to reach that level.

Platinum Young Ambassadors

Platinum Young Ambassadors must have spent at least a year as a Gold Young Ambassador. They act as a mentor, support the training of Gold and Silver Young Ambassadors across the local area. 

Gold Young Ambassadors

Gold Young Ambassadors work across a local authority coordinating activity. These Young Ambassadors support the training of Silver and Bronze Young Ambassadors. 

If you would like to become a Gold Young Ambassador, you will need to apply by completing an application form. Speak to your school 5X60 Officer about this.

Silver Young Ambassadors work in their own school and are trained locally by Platinum and Gold Young Ambassadors using resources supplied by the Youth Sport Trust.
