The Save Sight Institute offers a Youth Ambassador programme for two students aged 14-21 each year, to help develop skills and confidence across a range of different areas.

During 2016 our youth ambassadors were Sacha Thomas and Harrison Kirkwood, and we are very proud of everything these two individuals have achieved.

We are now accepting expressions of interest for the 2017 Youth Ambassador Programme.

Students are expected to contribute 1-2 hours per month to the programme which can be done remotely, although we will require a physical meeting approximately four times a year (once a quarter). To express interest please complete this form and we will be in contact soon.
