Silver Young Ambassadors

Our silver young ambassadors are young people who are currently within secondary school (year 7 - 11). At this level of the programme focuses on the stage of the young person rather than their age. The Silver level is for those at the beginning of their leadership journey.

Leadership Approach

The approach for this stage of the pathway is “leading in partnership”. Here Silver YA’s will work together with the mentorship and guidence of Gold YA’s to achieve their role outcomes, develop integral skills, Impact priority areas and show their outcomes. They divide role, share information and ideas with a focus on support specific groups to be healthy and active.

Role Outcomes

There are four role outcomes throughout the entire leadership pathway. Although they don’t themselves change, the expected outcomes and language used changes. This allows for an increase in responsibility, expectation and outcomes at each level. Within the Silver YA level the role outcome descriptors are:

  • Inspire: Inspire specific groups e.g., who may be inactive, disadvantaged, or under-represented

  • Influence: influence specific groups e.g., based on age, ability, disability, or gender of target audience

  • Lead: Lead in partnership inclusive activities that meet the needs and interests of specific groups

  • Mentor: Mentor other silver young ambassadors to support their leadership and development journey
