Student Ambassador Program

What is the Student Ambassador Program?

This is a unique summer volunteer program only at Abrazo West Campus for young people to contribute to their community as well as discover if a career in health care is in their future. Students who are accepted into the program may use their volunteer hours towards their student learning requirements, honor societies, or for future college application references.

Students who are between the ages of 15-19 are eligible to apply to the program.

Expectations

We expect our students to take their volunteer assignment seriously, just as they would a class attendance or employment. Please consider your student’s ability to meet the required time commitment before submitting an application. Applicants who miss the information session or who turn in incomplete packets will not be considered for the Student Ambassador Program.

Our program allows students to learn about health care careers firsthand. We are passionate about supporting and guiding the next generation of health care professionals.
