community ambassador applications open

Community Ambassadors link local nonprofit agencies with the people, programs, and resources on FSU's campus. Each Ambassador works with one local agency for a full academic year, learning the inner workings of that agency. Ambassadors bring knowledge of their agencies to Florida State, connecting campus and community. Community ambassadors assist in recruiting, training and organizing Florida State students to volunteer at their placement sites. An ambassador's knowledge of their agency's specific service needs combined with the center's resources create opportunities for positive, sustainable change through the university and the local community.

Ambassadors are required to commit 10 hours per week to their community agency and attend biweekly program meetings, and they will receive a stipend and notation on official their transcripts.

Applications are due Friday, Mar. 13.
