Who is an Afterschool Careers Ambassador?

Afterschool Career Ambassadors are experienced professionals, freelancers or business owners with at least four continuous, and proven years of experience in a specific area.

They are genuinely interested in helping to empower young people to make informed decisions about their future careers and are willing to share their own experiences in a truthful, positive and practical way.

What makes our Ambassadors special?

Our ambassadors are empathetic, collaborative, open-minded, and committed to helping others to be the best they can be. Their knowledge and experience help our young people see how others before them have embarked on, and are thriving in their chosen careers. By sharing their journeys, and stories, they inspire, encourage and empower others to succeed.
