The Junior Ambassador programme is a 12-month opportunity for young artists aged 14 – 18 years old to represent the charity as ambassadors and work with us to develop and deliver our work. Throughout the year they receive mentoring from Director Avatâra Ayuso as well as support to deliver projects they want to see within the charity or projects of their own outside of the charities framework. 

Some of the skills developed during the programme include:

• Leadership 
  
• CV writing 
  
• Marketing 
  
• Confidence 
  

Previous programmes have also provided the following opportunities to the Junior Ambassadors: 

• Featured in a professional dance film 
  
• Attend AWA DANCE events for free including Power Girl Bootcamps and the Women in Dance Leadership Award Ceremony 
  
• Blog writing and curation 
  
• Development of the Body Image in Dance Training research
  
• Social media takeovers including hosting IGTV lives 
  
• Leadership Tracking 
  

This opportunity has also previously been used by Junior Ambassadors as part of their Duke of Edinburgh Award certification.
