It Gets Better is an international movement which envisions a world where all LGBTQ+ youth are free to live equally and know their worthiness and power as individuals. We strive to tell the stories of LGBTQ+ people and to provide positive and reassuring messages to LGBTQ+ young people.
Our UK chapter operates across the UK with groups of Volunteer Ambassadors who operate in their local areas. We are now starting a chapter of Volunteer Ambassadors across Wales.
Volunteers will represent your local area within Wales and work together with other Welsh volunteers, and our broader volunteer network across the UK, to share a message of hope to young people in your local area, and collect stories of hope from people in your local area.
Volunteers undertake 4 key actions per year: you choose these yourself, meaning this role requires leadership and allows for a lot of flexibility. Actions must work towards collecting and sharing hopeful stories of the LGBTQ+ experience.
• Raise awareness of It Gets Better UK and our work through talking to members of the LGBTQ+ community in your area, and on social media
• Look after our information and fundraising stands at local events – most importantly, hosting an It Gets Better UK stall in your local area.
• Support other members of the It Gets Better UK volunteer team to deliver events in their area by adding capacity where possible, and within a distance that suits you – for example, helping out at a Pride stall run by another Ambassador nearby.
• Deliver talks to local LGBTQ+ groups, community groups, schools etc about the work of It Gets Better UK and how they could help us achieve our goals
• Inspire members of the LGBTQ+ community to add their own It Gets Better story to
our work.
We are looking for confident, well-connected individuals with LGBTQ+ lived experience for this senior volunteering role.
The time commitment required varies, and can be flexible around you. We just ask that you run 4+ activities across the year!
