Mind in Gwent
Wellbeing Ambassadors
Mind in Gwent offers volunteering opportunities to young people aged between 14 and 25 who feel passionately about ensuring young people are supported with their mental health. After their initial training, Wellbeing Ambassadors are offered opportunities to engage with 4 different areas of work:
- Awareness Raising – raising awareness of mental health at different events as well as delivering our co-produced PEERS training.
- Youth Voice – getting young people’s voices heard across the organisation and beyond.
- Supporting Young People – helping out with our young people’s services at Mind in Gwent.
- Content Creation – helping develop our social media channels and podcast.
Wellbeing Ambassadors can choose which activities they would most like to get involved with and can take part in additional training depending on their interests. Weekly general meetings take place online so that volunteers can access them from wherever they live in Gwent, and project specific work either takes place online or face to face depending on what the volunteers are doing.
