Become a Young Persons’ Ambassador with Futures

We know how important it is to receive feedback, especially when it comes to working with young people. We also know that young people don’t always feel comfortable sharing their honest thoughts and opinions with adults – which is why our ambassadors are such an important part of our team.  

As an ambassador, you’ll be the voice for our young customers. Through speaking to them, joining focus groups, helping to develop resources, creating social media content and more, you’ll be able to provide honest insights and opinions on our service, what we’ve done well and, most importantly, what we can do to be better.

What you’ll get in return:

• Pride at having benefitted young people and your local community 
• Support from a professional mentor, who will help you plan your goals for the future 
• The chance to meet new people and have some fun  
• Something fantastic to put on your CV!
