Ambassador Program
NSHSS Ambassadors are student leaders within their high schools who exhibit academic excellence and strong commitment to community service. As role models, Ambassadors are encouraged to inspire their peers to explore new initiatives within their high schools and communities by organizing community service projects and gatherings with fellow members to support the vision of NSHSS.
Ambassadors are responsible for playing a vital role in communicating with current and prospective members about how to make the most of membership in the Society through social media and their school network. Each Ambassador receives an official kit welcoming them to the program with information regarding their full list of responsibilities and an exclusive NSHSS Ambassador t-shirt.
Typical responsibilities include
- Organizing local community service projects
- Developing various leadership styles in a multitude of settings
- Presenting workshops at National Member Events
- Networking with like-minded peers
- Promoting scholarships and other opportunities on social media
Eligibility: To qualify for membership in the Ambassador Program, existing NSHSS members must be in their sophomore, junior or senior year of high school with a cumulative GPA of 3.7 or higher.
The 2017-2018 Ambassador Applications are now available! The deadline to apply is June 30. If you are a current Ambassador, there is no need to reapply.
