About this opportunity
Safe In Our World is a charity working on mental health in the games industry and the wider gaming community, and its Ambassador Program has been running for almost seven years. As of World Mental Health Day the charity counts more than 200 ambassadors across 15 countries, and the Class of 2027 call is now open. The programme is sponsored for the second consecutive year by The Indie Stone.
The role is about what you propose to do with it. Ambassadors attend local and virtual events, represent the charity, and bring their own ideas for mental health projects, which past cohorts have turned into everything from a wrestling match to a live Dungeons and Dragons stream. The support that comes with it is practical: free training opportunities, exclusive training sessions, priority access to internal news and initiatives, regular charity updates by email, a profile added to the Safe In Our World ambassador page, invitations to represent the charity at physical and virtual events, a Class of 2027 welcome gift, and entry to private ambassador channels in the Safer Together Discord server. Ambassadors from current and past cohorts also get a shared space on the official Safe In Our World Minecraft server, hosted with Kinetic Hosting.
There is no cash grant or payment specified, and no job or contract comes with it. This is a volunteering and community role, and its value is the skills, the network and the platform. Applicants do not need to work in the games industry at all. The charity says the programme suits anyone with an interest in games and mental health who wants to help make gaming communities safer and more welcoming, so a Nigerian or African gamer, streamer, community moderator, student society leader or early career developer can apply on the same terms as anyone else.
Applications close at 23:59 UK time on Sunday 25 October 2026, and every applicant, successful or not, hears back in November 2026.
