Meet national ambassador, Niomi
“My journey really started when I found myself pregnant at 18. After some time living in a hostel, I managed to secure my first tenancy when my son was five months old.
“My mind has always been focused on helping improve the lives of young people, so I did community volunteering placements for various youth programmes.
“As a national ambassador, we were given an opportunity to help create more positive relationships between older and younger residents. By sharing our stories and views, we were able to help shift the perception of young people.
“Coming out the other side, being a national ambassador helped me better understand my purpose and decide exactly what I wanted to do while supporting others.”
Community ambassadors
As a community ambassador, you’ll help local youth and community organisations.
Our recent community ambassadors have:
- organised community days
- transformed disused estate offices into spaces for young people
- made sure young people have a voice in their local area
- improved community relations between different community groups.
Through this experience, you'll also able to take accredited training courses that will help you develop valuable work skills.
