We are looking for up to ten UK university students to join our volunteer Student Ambassadors team and help Ygam achieve its social purpose by reaching out to students at university. This will be achieved by advising Ygam on the needs of students, supporting with content development, organising activities at your campus, and join us at events to raise awareness of gaming and gambling harms.

We are seeking individuals who are outgoing, with a confident personality. You will enjoy engaging with other students and be able to advise us on the experiences of students with regards to gaming and gambling. We’d love to hear from students with an interest in mental health, psychology, content development, and gaming. 

Objectives

Inform content development and delivery:

• Advise and offer expertise that will inform the development of programme resources and methods of delivery, including social media and online content.
• Provide unbiased insights and ideas to add further value to the USE programme.

Support and improve engagement:

• Connect with and seek insight from different groups in relation to university students, e.g. clubs and societies.
• Seek and recommend ways to improve the programme’s engagement through a range of communication channels.
• Build relationships with key contacts within VSA’s university, providing introductions to the USE team and advocacy for the programme.

Challenge and support the delivery team:

• Question and challenge the views of others in a constructive way to increase the quality of learning for students.
