UnLtd, the industry’s social purpose organisation, has announced 18 Ambassadors for Good for 2022, its second annual intake.

The second call out for Ambassadors saw more than 75 people across the industry apply.
Chris Freel, CEO of UnLtd: “Just like last year, we were overwhelmed by the interest in the program and the incredible individuals that applied.

The diverse group each brings their own unique skills, backgrounds and perspective. I can’t wait to work with our Ambassadors to channel that passion into meaningful projects that will help young people at risk.”
The year-long program will kick off in March and include a charity immersion, mentoring, events and special projects that will see the Ambassadors use their skills and influence for good to help children and young people at risk.
UnLtd has also announced an Alumni program for the 2021 Ambassadors for Good with Jade Harley, Partnership, Social & Content Director at Kaimera and Emmalee Fagerstrom, Senior Data Strategist at Yahoo taking on the role of co-chairs of the program.
Emmalee and Jade: “We’re thrilled to continue our roles as UnLtd Ambassadors for Good through the Alumni program. The program provided us both with a sense of purpose and connection and gave us the opportunity to put our skills to good use supporting UnLtd, the charities they support and most importantly youth at risk. We are excited to get to know the new Ambassadors as they embark upon this fantastic program, and we can’t wait to roll up our sleeves, alongside our fellow Ambassador Alumni in the year ahead.”
The Ambassadors for Good program is kindly sponsored by Yahoo, a long-term supporter of UnLtd and Hall of Good inductee.
Yahoo’s Vice President & Head of APAC, Paul Sigaloff: “I have no doubt most people in our industry want to leave a positive impact on the world, society and people. At Yahoo that’s what we all have in common. We’re so proud to once again support such an important program that’s building the leaders of tomorrow and creating advocates for change.”
