Become a Youth Ambassador for 2011!
Every year, World Vision accepts applications from 40 Hour Famine participants to be our Youth Ambassadors for the following year. It's an amazing experience and a chance of a lifetime. Why not consider applying yourself?
What does a World Vision Youth Ambassador Do?
- Travel overseas on a World Vision Study Tour in January 2011, to meet children and families who live in poverty and witness their daily struggles first hand.
- Come back to Australia and share the stories of the people you met in schools, at events and with other young people in the community.
We're looking for a person who:
- has raised $200 or more for the 2010 40 Hour Famine
- is 15-20 years old in 2011
- is available in your home state throughout 2011
- is genuinely interested in issues of global poverty and injustice and wants to see the world change!
- respects cultural diversity and enjoys experiencing new things
- enjoys public speaking and could jump up in front of a big school assembly to speak without freaking out!
