Committees
Our student led i am me committees are responsible for spreading the i am me message and app on their campus. They run events, review the app, tell us what's missing and how we can improve it. They offer us advice and inspiration on how to grow our reach and supportive presence, the look and feel of the content, artwork and photography, user experience on the app, as well as providing invaluable insight in to the minds of young people. They are our ears and eyes on the ground. Get in contact if you want to set up a committee in your School, College or Uni, or ask a teacher to contact us.
Record a message
On the app, we have a section called 'messages to my younger self'. These inspirational messages are from people who all want to support young people by passing on little gems of advice and words wisdom to support and uplift you. It's a way of helping you to understand that you're not alone. Have you got something to share? Get in touch.
