What is an Ambassador?

  • g

    The Academy Student Ambassador Program recruits, trains, and supports students who represent their various Academies.  Ambassadors practice and improve their leadership skills through monthly training and networking with business partners.  As leaders of their Academy, Ambassadors provide a student voice to support the growth and improvement of their Academy.  Each career Academy has ambassadors from various grade levels.
