Ygam Volunteer Student Ambassador
About organisation / project
We are the UK's leading charity dedicated to preventing gaming and gambling harms among young people.
Our work bridges the critical knowledge gap between young people's digital lives and the adults who guide them. We believe in harm prevention through education, empowering the people who can make a real difference as well as directly to young people themselves.
Young people are growing up just a few clicks away from the vast world of gaming and gambling, along with the online safety challenges that come with it.
Those in positions of care or influence over children and young people have a unique opportunity to take meaningful action to protect and support them. We’re here to provide them with the knowledge, tools, and confidence they need to make a real difference.
Through our free programmes and resources, we help build awareness and resilience, helping to guide young people to thrive in the digital age.
