As an Alumni Ambassador, you'll be able to share your international internship journey, engage with fellow students, and gain valuable professional development in leadership, public speaking, and communication even after your internship has come to an end. This volunteer networking role provides hands-on experience in a globally engaged organization and develops key career skills.
It's always amazing to hear about our participants' life-changing experiences, and many of our alumni are enthusiastic about inspiring young professionals to take their careers to the next level. If you want to continue sharing your story, consider joining the program. There are many ways to be involved—let's chat about what best suits you!
Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, and ambassadors typically commit to participating for two semesters.
