Schools Programs - Scope Young Ambassadors Program

Scope Young Ambassadors is an innovative and proven certificate program that develops the self-esteem, sense of connectedness and abilities of young people to actively promote the values of diversity, respect and acceptance of others in their community. The dynamic, flexible and competency-based applied learning program is facilitated in schools by professionally trained Scope Community Educators.  Scope Young Ambassadors is available in modified formats for both Primary and Secondary Schools.

Over 3-4 sessions, students spend time with people with a disability and have the unique opportunity to work along side people with a disability at Scope Business Enterprises. Scope Young Ambassadors requires students to take the understanding of living with a disability into their everyday life and challenges them to share the message of more inclusive communities with others.

During 2011, SYA was successfully implemented in 120 Victorian schools reaching approximately 3,500 students. Many of the participating schools offered SYA as part of Advance or the Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL). SYA is mapped to VELS, VCAL PDS Units 1 & 2 at Foundation, Intermediate and Senior levels, the Advance program and units of Certificate III and IV in Sport and Recreation.
