Become a ONE Youth Ambassador 2023 - EU

ONE has a network of Global Activists – in Africa, the United States, Europe and Canada – fighting against extreme poverty and preventable diseases. In Belgium, the ONE Youth Ambassador programme – a one-year volunteer programme – is looking for passionate activists to join us for 2023. The global pandemic has amplified the inequalities faced by millions of people every day. Next year, EU leaders will have a unique opportunity to make real progress to fight preventable diseases, and invest in resilience to climate change and economic shocks in African countries.

Do you also think that more needs to be done for global justice? Then join us to make sure decision-makers turn their promises into action!

As ONE Youth Ambassadors, you will carry out a variety of creative and innovative actions in support of our campaigning and advocacy work. You will receive training, access to high-profile events, in-depth policy briefings, as well as dedicated support from ONE’s campaigns team.

The programme will typically take a few hours of your time a week and will run from March to December 2023.

This role is a great opportunity for anyone wanting to become more engaged in international development or who wants to develop their skills in bringing about change. We welcome applications from everyone who is keen to support the fight against extreme poverty!

Before you apply, please read our Youth Ambassadors information sheet (PDF) for further information about the programme.

To apply, please complete and submit the form below. If you are living outside of Belgium for the majority of 2023, unfortunately we won’t be able to accept your application.

Applicants must be aged 18 years and above.

Deadline for applications: Friday, 10th of February (end of day).
