The Switch Ambassador Programme works with secondary school students (known as switch ambassadors) who are at the highest risk of being excluded from school. We help students’ switch their behaviour, choices and attitudes towards learning by improving their self-esteem, resilience and well-being.
The programme takes place at the students’ school during the school day at pre-established times. Switch ambassadors attend weekly group workshops and 1:1 mentoring sessions for 12 weeks. We produce various outcomes as a result of our programme such as better behaviour, lower exclusion rates and improved attendance.
