Ambassadors

The role of Ambassadors is a new and important one for Young Citizens. We are bringing together a group of distinguished individuals, from different walks of life, who are united by their passion for the work of Young Citizens and want to help us spread the word.

Our first three Ambassadors are all very senior members of the legal profession and for many years have supported our work in public legal education - especially the Mock Trials – but are equally committed to our vision in which every young person achieves their full potential as an active citizen.
