Green Sports Ambassadors

The Green Ambassador programme is new for the 2023/24 academic year. The Green Ambassador will play a crucial role in promoting environmental sustainability and raising awareness about climate change within their college.

As an organisation committed to promoting sustainable practices and inspiring the next generation of leaders, AoC Sport recognises the urgent need to address environmental issues in the sporting world. The Green Ambassadors program is designed to harness the passion and influence of college students, enabling them to become advocates for sustainability within their respective institutions and local communities.

The Role

There is a limit of two* Ambassadors that can be recruited per programme. Each individual student can only be involved in one of our Ambassador or Activator programmes.


To successfully fulfil the role students should be able to commit to the following:

- Raise awareness of the impact humans and in particularly sport is having on the environment

- Support to Organise and participate in events, campaigns, and initiatives that promote both physical activity and environmental consciousness.

- Complete Carbon Literacy in Sport Training

- Work with staff members at college to monitor any participants engaged in existing or new activities that they have promoted

- Complete a personal development form

*If colleges wish to house more ambassadors and activators due to the size of the college, number of campuses or college group we advise you consider the amount of support you will be able to provide these students to ensure they have a positive experience and contact us to discuss the options.
