"The ambassadors worked so well as a team and the kids were really thriving as a result. It was so rewarding!"

What have you enjoyed?

"Interacting with the young people and seeing them develop their confidence"

"Seeing the group grow as people; getting more confident and becoming closer friends as it went on"

"I think the biggest positive I gained from the role was my development in communication and organisational skills and professionalism."
