Join the Ambitious Youth Network, a space for autistic young people to have their say on Ambitious about Autism’s projects and access a range of opportunities to advocate and improve services for autistic young people. No diagnosis is required.
The network is free to join, and it is a fun and friendly space for autistic young people aged 13-25 to be themselves and take part in opportunities to advocate for autistic young people.
By joining, you can volunteer your time to:
- Complete surveys to share your voice on improving services for autistic young people
- Take part in research to help improve support for austistic young people
- Take part in workshops and focus groups with external organisations looking to make their content more accessible. In the past we have worked with Vodafone, Natwest, Tellmi, Schuh, Vanish and more.
- Help improve the services and community platform at Ambitous about Autism
- You can sign up and take part in opportunities here - https://ambitious-youth-network.ambitiousaboutautism.org.uk/
