Community Student Ambassador Program
The Community Student Ambassador Program is one of MSMU’s partnership programs designed to motivate inner-city high school students to complete high school and aspire to a university education. The ambassadors help high school, middle and elementary school students understand what skills they need to acquire and what courses to take to qualify for university admission, and assist them with identifying appropriate colleges to which they can apply, completing admissions applications and researching financial aid. The program provides leadership and service opportunities to Mount Students by engaging them in outreach in the Los Angeles area. Currently, ambassadors serve in numerous high schools, several middle schools, community partner sites and several Los Angeles City housing developments. By helping these students to plan for university, improve study skills and envision satisfying and rewarding careers, Mount students are able to give back to the community while developing their own counseling and time-management skills. The Community Student Ambassador Program continues a long-standing Mount tradition of service to the broader community.
