Campus Ambassadors

Campus ambassadors are degree-seeking students who raise the Peace Corps’ profile on campus and introduce the agency’s mission to student groups. Students who are Returned Peace Corps Volunteers are encouraged to apply.

Promote the Peace Corps on your college campus

Campus ambassadors serve as local points of contact for students, faculty, and campus organizations. Ambassadors share information about Peace Corps opportunities and benefits. The opportunity is open to any student pursuing skills training, professional certificate, associate, undergraduate, and/or graduate degrees at any accredited college or university in the U.S.

What campus ambassadors do

You engage in many vibrant forms of student outreach on your campus including developing relationships with professors and student clubs, sharing the Peace Corps with your peers through posting on social media, and coordinating and supporting events.

• Campus ambassadors use their personal social media to promote the Peace Corps within their networks.
• There are specific goals for you to work towards, and we will also look to you for innovative ways to connect with student groups on campus.
• On average, campus ambassadors work about 5 hours per week and commit for the academic year.

Benefits

Campus ambassadors gain leadership experience and skills, including public speaking, networking, and many more!

Campus ambassadors receive a $1600 stipend per semester and commit for the academic year.

Serving as a campus ambassador will not directly increase your chances of being selected for Peace Corps service, but it can enhance your application.
