NAS – Exciting opportunity for young, autistic campaigners!

You can now apply to join our 2026-2028 Young Ambassador Programme! We are looking for:

• Young autistic people aged 18-25
• Who want to learn more and get involved with running campaigns
• And are passionate about making society work for autistic people

Does this sound like you or someone you know?

More about the programme:

Whether you’ve been involved in campaigning before or you’re totally new to it, the Young Ambassador Programme will support you to learn all about running successful campaigns.

We’ll help you to develop your skills in lots of different areas, including campaign strategies, sharing your story, making the most of social media and how to work with Government and MPs.

This is a flexible and voluntary programme with both in-person and online events and opportunities. To get the most from it, we recommend having 2-3 hours a month to spend on Young Ambassador activities.

Our application form has been designed to be completed in a way that suits you best, whether that’s independently or with help from someone else and through written answers to our prompts or by sharing a video, poem or piece of art.

Here’s what Max, a former Young Ambassador said about the programme:

“Thanks so much for running the Young Ambassador program, your guidance and support made all the difference – I had an absolute blast! Really appreciate the opportunity and everything you did to make it special.”

All the best
Ella
