Every young person should know that being LGBT+ is something to be celebrated. Be the one to make that happen by becoming an LGBT+ ambassador.

Sign up to begin training. Please note that you must identify as LGBT+ and be age 18-25 to become an ambassador.

The training takes place over two days (online or in person). This relaxed training will connect you with other young LGBT+ people and give you the skills and knowledge to use your voice to affect change.

You’ll choose opportunities throughout the year to deliver secondary school talks, use your voice, develop skills and find community. Not only is the Ambassador Programme life-changing, you’ll also help improve LGBT+ young people’s lives.

You’ll be able to continue volunteering every year until you’re 25. You’ll get loads back too: our ambassadors participate in exclusive employability and skills training from prestigious employers, and can join our year-long LGBT+ career mentoring scheme. More than that, Just Like Us ambassadors are part of a nationwide community of 300+ other LGBT+ young activists who support and learn from each other.

Why you’ll love it

  • Be the representation you would’ve wanted growing up
  • It’s a cathartic action to go back to a school proudly with other LGBT+ people to talk out loud about your identity, and know that you’re helping
  • Meet and go to events with other LGBT+ young people

What skills do I need?

Whilst we do not require any previous specific experience to be an ambassador the following skills will be useful to the role:

  • Public speaking (no prior experience required and training/support is available)
  • Teamwork (you will often be working alongside fellow volunteers)
  • Organisation
  • Basic IT skills (you will need to work with Google Slides when delivering talks in schools)
  • Passionate about LGBT+ education
  • Supportive, empathetic and compassionate

Availability Details

The main thing ambassadors do is deliver talks in schools (which usually take place between 9am-3:30pm, in line with school hours). We ask that ambassadors deliver a minimum of three school talks across an academic year. There are also more flexible options such as writing articles for media outlets and speaking on panels, which tend to take place in the evenings. There is also occasional weekend opportunity- i.e. helping out at Pride events or our volunteer training
