The program strengthens action for climate change and its impact on health, while creating a deeper connection and relationship between the HEY Community and its members through its practical advocacy efforts.

The Ambassador program provides the opportunity to take advocacies to new heights, strengthening engagement at the community level, all while accelerating our collective work for climate justice in our respective countries while simultaneously strengthening our skills to become community leaders.
