This three-year Global Youth Ambassadors programme facilitates passionate young changemakers with the skills, knowledge, and support they need to drive impact locally and globally. Each year, new ambassadors aged 15–25 join a dynamic network that connects them with peers from around the world.
Through (bi-)weekly online meetings, they strengthen their advocacy capacity and build practical knowledge on rights, media, and project cycle management. They also participate in advocacy spaces and events, including UN-level opportunities. Alongside this, ambassadors develop and implement their own local advocacy projects, contribute to social accountability, and take part in youth-led monitoring and evaluation to reflect on progress and showcase the impact of their work.
Champions of Change provides girls and boys with safe, supportive spaces where they can build resilience, develop self-confidence, and find hope amid uncertainty. The programme empowers young people with the knowledge, leadership skills, and sense of purpose needed to cope with the challenges of conflict and become agents of positive change in their communities.
Through meaningful opportunities for learning, peer support, and civic engagement, participants strengthen their belief in their potential and ability to influence the future. The programme supports girls and boys on distinct yet interconnected journeys: girls strengthen their self-esteem, understand their rights, and build collective power, while boys learn to challenge harmful stereotypes, embrace gender equality, and model positive masculinities.
Since 2022, Plan International’s response has reached more than 1.7 million people, delivered 87 projects with 65 local partners, and maintained a strongly partner-led model with over 70% of funding channelled directly to partners.
Plan International delivers child protection, mental health support, gender-based violence prevention, cash assistance and safe education programmes.
With your support, Plan International can sustain life-saving protection services, safeguard dignity and help prevent long-term harm to children and their families.
