Past Session:
Plan a Fundraiser
For the past three summers, our Youth Ambassadors have learned how to Plan & Host Fundraisers. Our summer ambassadors are ages 8 and up. Participants learn about the importance of mental wellness and kindness. Using worksheets provided, they conceive of an idea to spread awareness and raise money and then execute their fundraisers. Bake sales, lemonade stands, yard work, bracelet sales, tie dye, car washes… our Youth Ambassadors exceeded our expectations with their enthusiasm, dedication, ingenuity, creativity, and professionalism.
Past Session:
Social Media
High School students are eligible for our social media Youth Ambassador sessions. Together, they learn about branding, the creation of strategic campaigns, and cross channel communication. They use their own accounts to execute campaigns and reach peers with potentially life-saving messages focused on suicide prevention, mental health, and kindness campaigns. Thousands of young people have been reached through our amazing Social Media Youth Ambassadors.
