Become a ONE Youth Ambassador in the Netherlands!
Become a Youth Ambassador in the Netherlands! Want to have a say in the decisions shaping the Netherlands’ role in the world?
We’re looking for young people from across the Netherlands to join ONE’s next cohort of Youth Ambassadors. Over the course of the programme, you’ll learn more about the issues shaping our world, develop new skills and get the chance to put what you learn into practice through real campaigns!
As a Youth Ambassador, you’ll get the chance to:
- build practical skills in advocacy, campaigning, public speaking and storytelling;
- deepen your understanding of international development, global health, and Africa-Europe relations;
- take part in campaigns and engage with important national decision makers;
- learn directly from people working in politics, policy and campaigning;
- meet other young people from different backgrounds and become part of ONE’s wider European and global community.
Want to get a better idea of what being a Youth Ambassador actually looks like? Read more about the programme here and apply now!
You don’t need to know your way around Dutch politics, or have experience in advocacy and campaigning. What matters is that you’re motivated to make positive change in the world, open to learn and excited to get involved.
We particularly encourage applications from young people from the African diaspora and from backgrounds that are underrepresented in Dutch policymaking.
