The Youth4Action Regional Ambassadors Program brings together engaged high-school youth from across Metro Vancouver to form a cohesive regional team. Ambassadors are supported to know, value, and understand regional sustainability priorities to influence awareness and inspire sustainability. As ambassadors, students will participate in a diverse range of Youth4Action activities to support them to gain the knowledge and skills needed to make our region better together.

Effective teamwork, communication, systems thinking, and collaboration will be emphasized to grow the Youth4Action network while honouring the exceptional ability of youth leaders to influence sustainability through school-based leadership. Learn more about Metro Vancouver’s Youth4Action Program.
