Become a Youth Ambassador with the World Literacy Foundation 2025

Application deadline: May 20, 2025

The World Literacy Foundation (WLF) is calling on passionate young people from around the world to apply for the 2025 Youth Ambassador Program. This transformative volunteer initiative offers youth between the ages of 15 and 26 a unique opportunity to speak up for global literacy, raise awareness in their communities, and support real change in education. If you are motivated to make a difference in the world and want to be part of an international movement, this program is designed for you.

What Is the Youth Ambassador Program?

The WLF Youth Ambassador Program is a three-month global initiative that connects motivated individuals with the resources, training, and community needed to become advocates for literacy. It is a volunteer-based program that focuses on equipping youth with leadership skills, supporting global literacy efforts, and building awareness of education-related issues.

Ambassadors will participate in virtual training sessions, engage in awareness campaigns, raise funds to support literacy projects, and contribute to educational outreach in underserved regions. The goal of the program is to create a generation of youth leaders who are not only aware of the literacy crisis but actively working to solve it.

Why Literacy Matters

According to UNESCO, over 770 million people worldwide lack basic literacy skills. Illiteracy affects individuals’ ability to find work, access healthcare, and participate fully in society. The WLF believes that literacy is a fundamental human right and a powerful tool for breaking the cycle of poverty. By becoming a Youth Ambassador, you can help bring attention to this global challenge and take meaningful action.
