About Young Climate Warriors
Young Climate Warriors is a nationwide charity which aims to engage and empower children, inspiring a climate-aware generation to harness the power of collective action. Through providing age-appropriate, positive, and thought-provoking resources, Young Climate Warriors supports teachers and families in enabling children to understand the reality of climate change; presenting a stubbornly optimistic outlook and encouraging carbon-cutting and sustainability activities, the charity aims to combat eco-anxiety and stimulate motivation, showing children the real value of their own individual actions.
Ambassador Programme
Taking climate change discussions directly into primary schools across the UK, 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. Ambassadors for Young Climate Warriors also have the opportunity to develop further projects within their partner schools, continuing to support climate education and conversation through the implementation of eco-clubs, publication and distribution of newsletters, and employment of our social media comms systems. Young Climate Warriors provides all Ambassadors with training to prepare them for the assemblies, and we continue to offer support and guidance throughout the position, as well as providing travel expenses and remuneration for each assembly delivered.
Our Ambassadors:
- 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
