What it means to be a Lindengate Green Ambassador
Green Ambassadors support Lindengate and Nature Alliance to promote nature and wellbeing in a range of ways. They bring people closer to nature-based organisations by sharing their direct experiences of the benefits of nature. This includes sharing inspiring stories and championing the impact of Lindengate’s programmes in conversation, through arts, and/or via websites and social media.
Green Ambassadors spend their time motivating Lindengate’s stakeholders and beneficiaries to increase youth participation and improve support for young people accessing our services.
Green Ambassadors will sometimes be involved with raising environmental awareness. For example, with support from our Communication and Fundraising Team, Green Ambassadors will reach out to the media.
They will also be involved in working strategically with public decision-makers, local forums, and other young representatives.
