Could you join the RSGB Youth Champion team?

| October 22, 2024

The RSGB has just appointed Chris Aitken, MM0WIC as the RSGB School Youth Champion and Rhys Williams, M0WGY/AJ6XD as the University Youth Champion. But the Society needs two more Youth Champions to join the team…

Do you have what it takes to engage with young people, supporting them on their amateur radio journey?

The role

The RSGB is looking for two more Youth Champions to focus on different aspects of its work with young people.

  1. A Youth Champion for scouts, guides and cadets
  2. A Youth Champion 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

These Youth Champions will work closely with the newly appointed Youth Champions for schools and universities, as well as with RSGB Board Liaison, Ben Lloyd, GW4BML and the RSGB Outreach Team.

Another part of each Youth Champion’s role is to give input and support for current activities, such as:

  1. Promoting and participating in YOTA (Youngsters on the Air) Month each December
  2. Ensuring RSGB representation at the annual IARU YOTA Summer camp
  3. Supporting the creation of a youth team and running a net/sked to involve all youngsters

Could this be you?

You will need to have the time and energy to support this great opportunity, including the passion and drive to generate and deliver plans to inspire the next generation of radio amateurs.

Are you?

  • Pro-active, enthusiastic and innovative
  • Experienced at managing your own time efficiently
  • A good leader, able to build relationships and mentor young people
  • Passionate about growing the number of young people involved in amateur radio

Want to apply or find out more?

Take a look at the youth activities on the RSGB website at rsgb.org/youth – these are just some of the great things that are happening already.

To find out more or if you’d like to express your interest in the roles, contact Youth Board Liaison Ben Lloyd, GW4BML via gw4bml@rsgb.org.uk

 These are challenging, but rewarding roles and you could play an important part in inspiring the next generation of radio amateurs.
