Become a
Partner School

Join our growing network of schools delivering the year-long Ambassadors Programme for young people aged 11–13.

Together, we're creating opportunities for young people to reconnect with nature, develop their leadership skills, strengthen their confidence so they can take meaningful action and reignite a great love for the planet.

Whether you're just beginning your sustainability journey or building on existing work, we'll support you every step of the way.

A growing movement

We're currently working with 18 schools across London, Kent and the south coast of England, supporting more than 500 young people annually.
 

Applications for our 2027/28 programme are open all year round. If you'd like to explore whether the Ambassadors Programme could work in your school, we'd love to hear from you. Register your interest below and we'll keep you updated.
 

While many schools begin with a one-year programme, our strongest partnerships develop over several years. By working together over time, we help schools embed meaningful environmental learning and create lasting whole-school change.

Access to funding

A fund of up to £5,000 is available to support cover requirements, an applicable TLR and costs to the school associated with supporting this programme.

A new growth opportunity

The suite of training, support and coaching on the programme is a

great incentive and development opportunity for a teacher looking

to grow in their career.

 Personal development

We equip young people to be responsible, respectful, active citizens who contribute positively to society, while developing their resilience, confidence and independence.

Over the year, schools benefit from...

the nomination of up to 30 Ambassadors to join the programme, if applicable.

Allocating supervising members of staff to go on retreat and provide pastoral care at night.

What's the commitment?

We partner with like-minded schools who can commit to:

“If you really enjoy nature, and really enjoy students learning about the environment, this is the programme for you.”
