The JA New York Student Ambassador program is a prestigious youth leadership development initiative for a select group of high school students who have demonstrated a strong desire to give back to their communities. The Student Ambassador program puts motivated young students on the fast track to a successful future.
Student Ambassadors are required to demonstrate leadership ability, a desire to succeed, a willingness to get involved, and an active interest in their futures. The students are nominated by their teachers, or by current Student Ambassadors. They then go through an application and interview process before final selections are made.
Ambassadors meet on a monthly basis to participate in activities such as public speaking seminars, career and college counseling, cultural activities, and job shadow experiences. They also attend and speak at JANY functions including the Annual Leadership Awards Gala, Bowl-A-Thons, board meetings, other fund-raising events, and our year-end volunteer recognition celebration.
