Ambassadors
The ACA Ambassador programme aims to create more opportunities for young people to lead the change they want to see in the world, and build the capacity and collective experience of ACA youth as socio-environmental justice activists.
The aim of the ambassadors programme is to
Build the capacity of young climate justice activists, through relevant trainings, exposure, and practical experiences
Allow for opportunities of peer mentorship to emerge, emphasising a decentralised understanding of knowledge sharing
Empower young people to be confident, self-aware and conscious socio-environmental justice activists
Have ambassadors lead an action area of project, that contributes to the growing work and impact of ACA

After graduation, the Ambassador journey continues
After graduating from the one-year Ambassador Programme, we aim to continue our support for each Ambassador’s change-making initiatives with our Opportunity Fund. The Opportunity Fund is intended to support the sustainability and ongoing efforts of ACA Ambassadors.
Past Ambassadors are encouraged to submit project proposals for climate justice projects they’d like to lead in their communities, to receive a micro-grant and mentorship to help bring their ideas to life.
In the past year, we have funded 7 projects in Zambia, Malawi, and South Africa.
