The programme includes orientation sessions and interactive workshops for new ambassadors. These activities are designed to equip them with skills to effectively communicate the Awards' values. Young ambassadors are encouraged to be role models in community engagement and volunteerism. This initiative reflects a commitment to nurturing future leaders who embody social responsibility.

She noted that young ambassadors will play a crucial role in spreading awareness about the Awards across all Emirates. Al Amri added that engaging children strengthens their social responsibility and leadership skills.
