Young Diplomats is a not-for-profit organisation. All staff volunteer their time. Money collected from event ticket sales are used to cover the costs associated with organising the event including venue hire, speaker fees, catering and advertising.
The easiest way to get involved is to contribute via an article which you can submit via the 'write for us' page on our website. Attending one of our many events is also a great way to get involved with our team and meet new people and industry professionals.
