This page takes you through the key steps for selecting and onboarding your BE Ambassadors, from supporting students to apply and reviewing applications, through to welcoming your final group and making sure everything is in place for them to begin the programme.
Please ensure you scan each section and check which actions apply to your role.
Action for: School-Based Facilitator / Lead Teacher
We want all students in the year group to feel confident in applying for the Ambassador Programme. To support this happening post-Launch Day, please:
Make sure students know how to apply using the online application form or paper application form
Share a copy of any paper applications with your co-facilitator to mark
Consider running an application session during school time. You can use our application session slides, teacher guide and session plan
Keep promoting the opportunity around school using the post Launch Day posters
Action for: Bertha Earth Facilitator, School-Based Facilitator / Lead Teacher
It’s important to consider and review all applications and make sure they are marked fairly. Please work with your co-facilitator to carve out time to:
Read the Application Support Guide
Mark all applications on the Hive. You can refer to the application marking video and Teacher Portal overview video to support you with marking and navigating the Hive
Arrange a time with your co-facilitator to compare your individual markings and agree on the final 30 Ambassadors
Action for: School-Based Facilitator / Lead Teacher
Once your 30 Ambassadors have been selected, please hold a short introduction session so they understand what they’ve joined and what happens next. Please make sure you:
Share the time and location of their weekly workshops
Hand out the Parent/Guardian consent flyers from your resource pack
Give each student their 2026 Ambassador Badge
Play the Community Video
Leave some time for questions
You’re welcome to follow our Introduction Session Plan, or run the session in your own way.
Action for: School-Based Facilitator / Lead Teacher
We want to understand who is taking part in our programme and ensure we meet our goal of supporting diverse groups of young people representative of the schools they’re in.
To help us do this, please share demographic information on the Hive as soon as your cohort of Ambassadors are confirmed.
