National Water Week Ambassadors play an important role in improving water literacy and raising awareness of careers working with water. As an National Water Week Ambassador, you'll have the opportunity to organise fun interactive activities and share your experience and knowledge with school students.

Schools registered as part of National Water Week have access to leading water professionals to complement their water studies and engage with themes.
