Young Ambassador Programme
In Singapore in July 2005, London won the right to host the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. In the presentation in Singapore, London made a promise to the world that showed the commitment from London to use the power of the Games to inspire millions of Young People to choose sport. This became known as the Singapore Promise. The Young Ambassador Programme was born and initiated in the summer of 2006 and a direct response to realising the Singapore Promise.
The outcomes and role of Young Ambassadors are simple; the focus of the programme is based on Young People using the inspiration of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games to:
- Increase participation of other young people and in doing so and contribute to the achievement of the 5 hour offer.
- Promote healthy, active lifestyles amongst other Young People
- Promote learning in Young People through the Olympic and Paralympic Ideas and Values of Respect, Friendship and Excellence
The Exeter School Sport Partnership will develop two young ambassadors per year in each of the partner secondary schools who will be tasked with promoting participation in school sport in their own school and their family of schools.
