Become a Student Ambassador
Our Student Ambassador Program fosters service and community engagement in students ages 12-18 and creates future leaders comfortable with the democratic process.
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The Student Ambassador program runs with the school year from September to May and is flexible for students with busy schedules. Each month we focus on one of our three pillars of Leadership, Service, and Advocacy, and have remote trainings and tasks on the community platform Circle. We also invite our Student Ambassadors to attend an in-person service or advocacy event each quarter. At the end of the school year we recognize Student Ambassadors who have shown consistent commitment with the Leadership in Service & Advocacy Award.
Hundreds of Student Ambassadors across the state played a vital role in the effort to get period products in Utah schools.
Student Ambassadors continue to have the unique opportunity to engage in service and policy to better their communities and schools.
