About the CCYP Ambassador Program

CCYP Ambassadors shared what was important to them and to other children and young people across Tasmania.

As a CCYP Ambassador, children and young people spoke directly with the Commissioner about the issues that mattered most to them. They came together to talk about big topics and helped influence decision-makers.

Ambassadors explored issues like children’s rights, the environment, justice, jobs and health services, and talked about what these meant for young people.

CCYP Ambassadors regularly met to:
  • share their ideas and opinions to help shape the Commissioner’s work
  • learn about their rights under the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child
  • be involved in projects, events and activities that supported young people’s voices
