Edinburgh Young Ambassadors

We work with @LifeChangesTrst to empower care-experienced children aged 14-26 to get active, learn new skills and improve their confidence. #YouCan

Well done to our Young Ambassadors for Sport for this year, Jack and Chloe. This morning, they handed over their roles and responsibilities to Michael and Skye, our new Ambassadors for 2019/20. Thank you Jill for all your hard work too! @YADGEdinburgh

Do you know a current S3 (soon to be new S4) that would make a great Young Ambassador for sport at Leith Academy? Come and speak to Lee in Active Schools or a member of PE to find out more! #YAScotland

If your school hasn’t already done so, recruitment for new S4 Young Ambassadors is now underway. If you know someone that would make a great YA, tag them in this tweet! #YAScotland
