Theirworld’s Global Youth Ambassador programme is a network of nearly 1,000 young people from more than 70 countries across the globe working together to end the global education crisis. It is the go-to network for youth campaigners who want to be at the centre of shaping the future of education.

The Global Youth Ambassador (GYA) programme is a connected community of 18 to 30-year-olds, made up of young campaigners and social entrepreneurs united in their passion for social justice and the right to education. 

It is a two-year programme that supports young people around the world to campaign for the right to education in their communities, countries, and beyond. 

PROGRAM KEY ELEMENTS

The programme has four key elements:

• Community 

It gives young people a fantastic chance to be a part of a supportive network that shares and promotes each other’s work, campaigns and achievements.  

• Opportunities

GYAs will be able to join campaigns and lead their own actions to champion the right to education. Learn about high-level events and decision-making forums where you can influence critical conversations about education. 

• Building your knowledge 

Network members have access to the latest information on global education and what needs to happen to make Sustainable Development Goal 4 of quality, inclusive education for every child a reality. You can find what you need to speak confidently on the education crisis.
