Youth Ambassador Programme

Empowering the next generation of women in cybersecurity.

The Youth Ambassador Programme is an initiative launched by the Women4Cyber Foundation in collaboration with the National Chapters in 2023. It is aimed at people between 18 and 26 years old, interested in inspiring the next generation of young women studying or working in the field of cybersecurity.

Women4Cyber Luxembourg joined this initiative in 2025 and is proud to announce the second youth ambassador cohort of 2026.

ABOUT THE PROGRAMME

The Youth Ambassadors are selected by the National Chapters and will be working actively with the Chapters of belonging, supporting them in their activities at the national level and participating in events. They will inform and inspire young women about career paths and opportunities in the cybersecurity field through awareness on social media and in-person events. They will reach out to their national communities and connect with decision makers in the industry.

OPPORTUNITIES

The Youth Ambassadors benefit from the access to a large network of professionals and peers in the field of cybersecurity, webinars and workshops aimed at developing soft skills, technical training and certifications, social media visibility, and will receive a certificate at the end of the programme.
