DOHA (Qatar): A group of Youth Advocates have been selected as part of a new programme launched by the Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy (SC) legacy programme Generation Amazing (GA).
The Generation Amazing Youth Advocates will embark on a year-long journey to better understand the different ways that football can be used as a tool for positive social change.
Under the programme, 15 Youth Advocates aged 16 to 24 were selected from an online process, with the group comprising of nine young women and six young men.
During the year, they will learn to empower participants of the Generation Amazing programme by undertaking training which will see them lead on-pitch programme sessions, enhancing communication, organisation, leadership and teamwork skills among their peers and those they interact with over the coming months.
Generation Amazing Youth Advocates are considered a manifestation of the SC’s legacy programme’s mission, vision and values on the ground.
They will advocate for pillar causes in the Generation Amazing programme, such as gender equality and inclusion – in line with the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for achieving a better future for all identified communities.
