School Ambassadors

Young People Are the Future of Our Community

The Anglicare WA School Ambassador Program asks Year 10 and 11 socially minded students to act as 'ambassadors' for Anglicare WA for one school year. After being nominated by their school, students learn about the work of Anglicare WA, including issues such as youth homelessness, family and domestic violence and socially inequality.

Activities and Events

During the year, Ambassadors from different schools come together for events such as the Ambassador Launch, the Advocacy Masterclass and the Anglicare WA School Sleep Out. 

These events help the Ambassadors develop skills which support them to raise awareness of Anglicare WA at school. 

These events are also an opportunity for Ambassadors to meet like-minded students from other schools.

Projects and Impact

Each school involved in the Ambassador Program will have a group of Ambassadors enrolled, and these Ambassadors are encouraged to work together throughout the year to support Anglicare WA. 

Projects such as donation drives, fundraising events, the Christmas Appeal, volunteering and public speaking are common ways for Ambassadors to get involved.
