About the Program

The College Ambassador Program is a new initiative underway to help Shot@Life reach and empower younger generations. As such, College Ambassadors are “spokespeople” for the work of the Shot@Life campaign, using their online presence to connect with other students, professionals, and leaders across the United States. Being a College Ambassador will open doors to networking and professional development in the global health and international relations sphere, and create a support system for using your voice in the movement for global health equity.
