Learn. Connect. Educate.

The Sustainability Ambassadors Program (SAP) provides select students with an immersive sustainability leadership experience. We provide creative engagement opportunities that build students’ skills and competencies as they support a culture of sustainability on campus.

Through interdisciplinary leadership training and experiential learning with campus groups, you will connect with a nexus of changemakers to design and implement projects that inspire your peers to take sustainable action.

For the 2022-2023 academic year the SAP will accept an elite cohort of 20-30 students to volunteer as Sustainability Ambassadors throughout the fall and winter terms. The deadline to apply is August 18 at 11:59 p.m., but applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.

Selected candidates will commit to an 8-month period from September 6 2022 to April 30 2023.

About the Sustainability Ambassadors Program Coordinator

It was through caring for the wellbeing of her peers that she was introduced to sustainability and has been working at these intersections ever since. For the last two years of her degree, she enjoyed her whirlwind of research, student community building, and working as the SAP Coordinator. When Meredith isn’t walking her dog, she is digging up her front garden to plant cucamelon and milkweed.
