Young Ambassador
The Lions Young Ambassador program is part of the “Lions Opportunities for Youth” initiative. The mission statement of Lions Opportunities for Youth is:
To provide the young people of the world with opportunities for achievement, learning, contribution and service, individually and collectively, through sponsorship of activities identified as best practices in the field of youth development.
The Young Ambassador program encourages youth to see community service as an integral part of leadership skills. By celebrating achievement alongside community service youth start to understand the importance of clubs such as Lions and the motto “We Serve”.
This program is looking for leaders of the future with an emphasis on community service being part of that leadership. This is done by way of a written CV an interview and a presentation of a speech
