What is an Eco Ambassador?

An Eco Ambassador is a young person who takes on a leadership role in their school or community to champion environmental awareness and action. Through the Green Nexus Education programme, ambassadors gain the knowledge, confidence, and tools to inspire those around them.

This is not just a title — it is a commitment to learning, leading, and making a real difference. Eco Ambassadors run campaigns, organise eco-projects, and become the green voice of their school.
