Young Ambassadors

  • Gain overarching experience of a creative-health organisation.

  • Work on project spanning events, marketing, and sales.

  • Set your own development goals and receive professional guidance.

Raw Material's new Young Ambassadors Programme is a brand new series of professional development workshops aimed at young people looking to gain broad experience in the arts and cultural sectors. 

Participants will work collaboratively and creatively at different tasks spanning monitoring and evaluation, events, marketing, and sales. In addition to setting their own development goals, they will also receive professional guidance from creative-health sector professionals.

Alongside the basic incentives included in the programme, we offer our Young Ambassadors formal recognition of their work, further professional development training, free use of Raw Material facilities and attendance of our events, as well as paid compensation for their time.

  • Structure

    The Ambassadors’ programme will provide essential skills training in three areas: Event Management, Monitoring and Evaluation/Research and Digital Marketing/Sales. Each area will be the focus of 3 activity sessions per term, with 3 terms in a year.

    The activity sessions are currently expected to take place monthly on a Monday evening. Exact timings tbc.

  • Content

    In the first activity session, Young Ambassadors will attend a Programming Committee. The second activity session will take the form of a Collaborative Workshop and Skill-Sharing Session in which the ambassadors receive essential training and guidance in each of the three areas mentioned above. The final activity session will take place off-site or online and be an opportunity for Presentation or Implementation-of-Learnings Sessions. In addition to these 9 activity sessions, there will be 3 End-of-Term Events which the Ambassadors will play a role in promoting, organising and managing.
