The Cam’s Kids Ambassador Program is a student-led initiative of Kids Help Phone, comprised of chapters in high schools and post-secondary institutions across Canada. Continuing the legacy of Cameron Hicks, a young person who navigated anxiety and reaching out for support through high school, this peer-led program focuses on creating awareness of mental health and the range of services and offerings available to them through Kids Help Phone.
Through various in-person and virtual interactions, Cam’s Kids Ambassadors offer valuable resources to their peers, building their own capacity as youth leaders and strengthening their community. Ambassadors play a crucial role in empowering others to learn more about their own mental health and in educating their peers about reaching out for support, making a positive impact in their communities.
