Welcome to the World Heritage Youth Ambassadors!

“Working to empower young people through World Heritage to be transformational in their own lives and the world around them”.
The World Heritage Youth Ambassadors is a program that helps young people age 13-25 discover who they are, who they want to be, and be proud to shout out about it. Using the World’s most special places, World Heritage Sites, we work with any young person to develop themselves, connect with their communities, and celebrate their place within the world they live in.
