Just Like Us is the LGBT+ young people's charity, and we work to make life awesome for LGBT+ young people in UK schools. Our network of LGBT+ young adult ambassadors are trained to share their experiences by speaking in local schools, giving hope to LGBT+ kids and inspiring all young people to be allies.
LGBT+ school pupils are twice as likely to be bullied. Our LGBT+ ambassadors help change that, by volunteering to speak in schools about growing up LGBT+ and the importance of allyship.
You can become an ambassador if you:
• live in the UK
• identify as LGBT+
• will be between the age of 18-25 by October 1st 2021
• have good written and spoken English
• would like to volunteer with kids
• have a passion for LGBT+ equality and visibility
We have ambassadors from various faith and ethnic backgrounds, as well as ambassadors with diverse LGBT+ identities, disabilities and levels of income.
If you are worried about a barrier to volunteering, get in touch with the team on volunteer@justlikeus.org. For more information about volunteering, check out www.justlikeus.org/volunteer.
