The UB Ambassadors Programme is the driving force of our organisation — its hands and feet in action. Each year, we open a formal call for ambassador applications. Candidates are required to submit their applications within the stipulated timeframe and, if shortlisted, attend a scheduled interview. Throughout the process, we aim to provide every applicant with a professional and meaningful experience, similar to applying for a formal job opportunity.
Successful candidates are invited to attend an in-person induction workshop. During this session, ambassadors are introduced to:
- The work and impact of our organisation
- Our mission, vision, and core values
- A reflection on previous years’ activities and partnerships
- The expected conduct and responsibilities of UB Ambassadors
- Training on facilitating peer learning
- An open discussion to assess ambassadors’ expectations for the year
Ambassadors follow a structured annual programme with clearly defined goals and performance measures to track engagement and successful completion. Upon fulfilling all programme requirements, ambassadors receive a Certificate of Completion and a formal Letter of Recommendation.
Above all, this experience is designed to cultivate social advocacy, leadership, and community service among all participants.
Here are some glowing reviews from previous ambassadors:
“My favourite part [about being an UB ambassadors] is learning things about SRH that even I didn’t know especially as a teenager seeing as SRH knowledge is pretty uncommon in my age group, and how I get to be part of a group that advocates for it, which also gives me a sense of belonging while not only interacting with my age mates but the older ambassadors too” Ms Ofentse Mkhabela, UB Ambassador 2024-2025
“[I enjoy] connecting with people and fostering positive relationships” Ms Siyanda Nkambule, UB Ambassador 2025-2026
