Our High School Student Ambassador Program is designed to empower a group of dedicated, passionate high school students around the core mission of women’s healthcare access, education, and advocacy.
Through this personalized ten-week leadership development curriculum (January-April), participating high school students learn the inner workings of a fast-paced, growing nonprofit organization that is changing the status quo of cancer care and fertility, as well as use their voice as a part of The Chick Mission’s flock. The skills students develop through the program help bolster their confidence in various aspects of their lives, from academic pursuits to future career opportunities.
At the completion of the program, Chick Mission Student Ambassadors will have:
- Increased problem-solving skills and ability to think critically and creatively
- Enhanced leadership and teamwork skills
- Refined public speaking and networking capabilities
- Inspiration to make a tangible, positive impact in their communities
- Strengthened professional and personal relationships
The ideal candidate will be:
- A high school student (Freshman, Sophomore, Junior) with innovative ideas, a personal passion, and a strong interest in making a tangible, positive difference in their communities and beyond
- A team leader and team player who can inspire their “peeps” to support The Chick Mission
- A go-getter who makes the best use of available resources and enjoys finding creative solutions
Selected Student Ambassador participants will:
- Attend a 1:1 with The Chick Mission team and a parent/guardian before the program begins
- Attend scheduled weekly meetings between January-April
- Weekly sessions take place on Sundays at 6pm ET (virtual)
- Design and execute a fundraising campaign of their choice with support from The Chick Mission
- Lead an educational presentation for a group of their choice (family, friends, club, team, etc) as a chance to share the information they have learned with a new audience
- All who complete the program with enthusiasm (host a fundraiser and an educational presentation) will earn a certificate of completion, as well as have the chance to qualify for a letter of recommendation for college
