Send to friendAll our ambassadors share the StreetGames desire to give all young people the chance to enjoy sport, regardless of their economic background.
We like to see our ambassadors as a young, up-and-coming team, led by the experienced multiple-Olympian Diane Modahl, our Chief Ambassador. Their role is to champion StreetGames and inspire all the young people who participate in StreetGames activities through their performances and achievements.
Many of them will be heading to the London 2012 Olympic or Paralympic Games and we are profiling their journeys throughout 2012 via our pages on Facebook, Google+, Twitter and YouTube.
The full line-up of StreetGames ambassadors will be announced early in 2012.
