Applications are now open for the LTA’s 2025 Young Person’s Welfare Ambassador (YPWA) programme.
YPWAs are young people aged 14-24 who play an important role in safeguarding at LTA registered venues.
An Ambassador’s role is to :
- Provide a young person’s voice and perspective to promote safeguarding and welfare at their venues
- Raise awareness of safeguarding and welfare issues amongst members and players
- Gather feedback from young people to enable them to have a greater say in safeguarding discussions
- Provide an important link between venue committees and children and young people
This is the first time in British sport a National Governing Body is actively involving young people in a programme of this nature, directly integrating them in the safeguarding and welfare work within tennis venues and supporting them to be an important part of the process.
More information and application details available on the LTA website.
Venue Welfare Officers or representatives interested in this exciting opportunity to appoint a YPWA are invited to complete an online form and the LTA will be in touch. More details and link to form here.
