Ambassadors

In October 2009, The Duke of Ed Ambassador Program was launched by Her Excellency Prof. Marie Bashir, NSW Governor, and HRH Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex, at a ceremony in Sydney.

The Duke of Ed Ambassadors are both leaders and grass-root members of the community who use their talent, position and/or network to promote the value, relevance and importance of The Duke of Ed for young people in Australia. Their support helps to us continue our work to expand and develop the Program Australia wide, especially supporting disadvantaged young people to participate and access the program. 

As part of our 50^th Anniversary celebrations in 2012 our mission is to grow our Ambassadors Program to secure 50 new Ambassadors around the country .

Who would make a good Ambassador?

Ambassadors need to be passionate about young people and understand how The Duke of Ed can assist and ensure young people achieve their full potential. 

The Commitment of our Ambassadors

We ask our Ambassadors to support The Duke of Ed in the following ways:

■Provide financial support to Award Projects or Programmes

■Introduce new Ambassadors to The Award who will be influential and offer support

■Be advocate for The Award across business, Government and community groups
