2021 HLFYA applications are now closed


Come back in Spring 2022 for an opportunity to apply for the 2022 class


The Young Ambassadors program was developed because the Henrik Lundqvist Foundation believes in the incredible power of young people to make a difference in the world and we want to give you a platform to do just that!

Applications for the HLFYA program are now CLOSED. Please follow HLF on Instagram to see what our Young Ambassadors are up to throughout the year and come back in Spring 2022 for an opportunity to apply for the 2022 class.

Currently in its fifth year, the HLFYA program empowers young men & women who want to be changemakers in their communities and beyond.

2. Complete one (1) independent service project in support of HLF’s mission;

3. Attend at least one (1) HLF-hosted event and/or service project (these projects will be hosted in New York City, at various locations and times throughout the year);
