Welcome to the new Multicultural Youth COVID-19 Ambassadors 2022
The NSW Multicultural Health Communication Service (MHCS) is delighted to welcome eleven dynamic Multicultural Youth COVID-19 Ambassadors to help us engage with young people across NSW. The aim of this initiative is to increase health literacy around COVID-19 amongst young people from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds.
Research has shown that young people have been significantly socially and economically impacted by COVID-19.
MHCS has identified an opportunity to support young people from CALD backgrounds through the co-design of a COVID-19 social media campaign.
This social media campaign will showcase videos co-produced with the youth ambassadors on platforms that are relatable and engaging to a diverse range of young people from multicultural backgrounds.

Multicultural NSW and the NSW Department of Customer Service.
