Ambassadors: Continuing the Journey 

The Lads Need Dads Ambassadors programme provides ongoing opportunities for young people to stay connected, continue their personal growth and remain part of the Lads Need Dads community. As boys progress through the pathway, Ambassadors are encouraged to develop leadership, build confidence and use their experiences to positively influence and inspire others.

Through continued support, relationships and opportunities to give back, Ambassadors become part of a growing community of young men committed to supporting one another and creating positive change.

National Speaking Opportunities

Our Ambassadors are given opportunities to influence change beyond our programmes. Charlie represented Lads Need Dads by speaking at the launch of the Lost Boys report, sharing his lived experience with a national audience and helping shape conversations about the needs of boys growing up without a consistent father figure.

Our Ambassadors Programme provides ongoing, open-ended support for young men as they move towards adulthood and independence. Through monthly check-ins, practical life-skills workshops, inspirational speakers and new opportunities, we help them build confidence, make informed choices and prepare for employment, relationships, independent living and adult responsibilities. There is no fixed end date — our Ambassadors remain part of the Lads Need Dads family for as long as they need us.

Ambassadors follows the Equip, Engage & Inspire programme:

Our 18-month long-term early intervention programme is comprised of our Equip, Engage and Inspire programmes. Designed for boys during the critical years of 11-15, it provides male-led group mentoring, bush-craft survival, life-skill training, community volunteering opportunities, peer mentor training, opportunities to meet inspiring men from the community and opportunities to visit inspiring places.
