Become a YOUTH AMBASSADOR

Georgia Muslim Voter Project’s (GAMVP) Youth Ambassadors Program equips Muslim youth in Georgia between the ages of 16 and 22 with skills in organizing, advocacy, civic engagement, and knowledge of issues impacting the Muslim community. It also provides opportunities to connect with other Muslim youth around the state and helps to develop Muslim identity. Youth Ambassadors will:

• Contribute to GAMVP’s mission and vision of amplifying the Muslim voice through civic engagement, base-building, education, and advocacy

• Participate in, host, and volunteer in GAMVP events and workshops

• Plan and execute voter initiatives and civic engagement events

• Develop organizing and civic engagement principles and apply them in a nonpartisan setting

• Develop leadership and organizing skills among a group of like-minded Muslim youth dedicated to social justice and creating a more inclusive democracy

• Represent GAMVP in their community and make positive contributions to the wider Georgia Muslim community

The 2024 Youth Ambassador Program will run from July to December 2024. Ambassadors will attend monthly training sessions followed by completing assignments, attending events, and leading organizing initiatives. For their participation in the program, each ambassador will be provided with a stipend of $1000. The expected time commitment for Youth Ambassadors is 12-15 hours a month. This program takes place in person (location TBA).
