Young Ambassador

Whats involved: The National Autistic Society’s Young Ambassadors programme is a two-year programme for young autistic people. The aim of the programme is to develop campaigning knowledge and experience. We’ll help you to develop your skills in lots of different areas and be a part of National Autistic Society campaigns for change. 

Across the two-year programme we will have a mixture of in-person (in Central London) and online meetings. 

You must be aged between 18 and 25 to do this role

We are looking for young autistic people that would like to learn more about campaigning. You don’t need to have any previous experience of campaigning to become a Young Ambassador. If successful, you will learn more about campaigning and develop your skills throughout the programme. 

We are looking for young autistic people aged between 18-25 who are passionate about achieving positive change for autistic people and interested in learning more about campaigning. Our Young Ambassadors group will represent a diverse range of experiences and interests.  

What’s in it for you – make a real difference to autistic young people by being part of our policy and campaigns team

On average, there will be a meeting every two months. During busier times we may meet more often. We will also contact each other via email. 

We ask that Young Ambassadors attend most meetings. 

To get the most out of this opportunity we would recommend having at least 2-3 hours per month to spend on the Young Ambassador programme.
