Volunteer as an RSGB Youth Champion

Following the recent appointment of two Youth Champions for schools and universities, the RSGB is keen to expand the team.

The Society is looking for a Youth Champion for scouts, guides and cadets, and another to lead activities and create resources to support young people once they have gained their Foundation licence, motivating them to try new things within amateur radio.

The four Youth Champions will work closely as a team, as well as with RSGB Board Liaison, Ben Lloyd, GW4BML and the RSGB Outreach Team. Together, the Youth Champions will also create a youth team and run a net/sked to involve all youngsters.

Do you have what it takes to engage with young people and support them on their amateur radio journey? Another part of each Youth Champion’s role is to give input and support for current activities, such as promoting and participating in Youngsters on the Air (YOTA) Month each December.

If you are proactive, experienced at managing your own time efficiently, a good leader who can build relationships and mentor young people, and you are passionate about growing the number of young people involved in amateur radio, then one of these roles could be for you! Take a look at the youth activities on the RSGB website and see some of the great things that are happening already.

If you’re interested in being part of the team, contact Youth Board Liaison Ben Lloyd, GW4BML via gw4bml@rsgb.org.uk
