YOUTH AMBASSADOR PROGRAM
At Youth Jobs Connect, we’re adamant that the change we seek and the technology we build is led by and alongside youth. This Summer, nine Youth Ambassadors from across the country will help amplify our new platform, YouthxJobs, to help more of their peers and near peers find opportunities and career resources this summer. Our Youth Ambassadors will….
Connect YouthxJobs directly with young people in their community and through community based organizations.
Reach out to local media to talk about the issues facing young people entering the workforce.
Create social media messages and videos as an extension of our campaign. #YouthJobsNow
Try to interview a person they admire about their FIRST JOB and ask them how it helped them get to where they are today.
We asked our cohort who their dream interviewee would be. See below for all their answers and if you have a way to help connect them to that person - LET US KNOW! #MyFirstJob
