The Student Ambassador Program

Ambassadors

A Central Nine Ambassador is the first smiling face visitors will see as they lead tour groups at Central Nine. Ambassadors will be called on throughout the year to answer visitor questions, help with open houses and events, serve on student panels, and lead tour groups, especially during Tour Week. Training sessions will be provided for students who are selected.
