Tool 2 – Building a College Ambassador Program

Students gain valuable insights about transitions to college when they hear first-hand from students who have done it themselves.

This booklet outlines what to consider when creating a peer-to-peer student ambassador programs at your school.

College ambassadors are college students (often alumni from your high school) who you bring together with your high school students to share information about college transitions from personal experience. College ambassadors can increase school counselors’ capacity to provide advising, tips and important information about college transitions and experiences.

This is a tool in Toolkit 1 – How to Build Student-to-Student Networks, which is the first of three toolkits in IDRA’s Community-based College Access – Online Technical Assistance Toolkit.
