Ambassadors of Change

This innovative program empowers students to become leaders in their communities by equipping them with the skills, resources, and opportunities to address issues like food insecurity. Through hands-on advocacy, project management, and collaboration with local businesses and organizations, students gain real-world experience in making a tangible impact while developing leadership, communication, and problem solving skills.
