• Share information about upcoming NYMHCA events via email, program newsletters, announcements in classes, etc.
• Represent NYMHCA during college and program events (new student orientation, social events, etc.).
• Collaborate with regional NYMHCA chapter to facilitate student-centered events, such as special meetings, celebratory events for graduating students, and NYMHCA program development for students.
• Participate in regularly scheduled meetings with the Student Ambassador Program Coordinator and fellow ambassadors.

Student Ambassador Application Process

All candidates for Student Ambassador must complete an application, which includes a proposal for engagement in the student's program, how, where, and when they will represent NYMHCA, and any specific needs or expectations for NYMHCA financial and other resources.

Once an application is received, it will be reviewed by the Student Ambassador Program Coordinator. If the application is accepted, it will be presented to members of NYMHCA's board of directors for approval. Following approval, the student will be notified of their acceptance and a meeting will be scheduled to review the expectations and responsibilities of the Ambassador. A participation agreement will be completed and the student may then begin to represent NYMHCA on their campus and facilitate the proposed engagement events.
