Ambassadors are University of Nebraska-Lincoln undergraduate students majoring in agriculture STEM fields. Ambassadors provide virtual, peer-to-peer mentoring to high school student Scholars.
Why become a Cultivate ACCESS Ambassador?
Serving as an Ambassador allows you to share your story and serve as a role model for high school student Scholars. You will receive training which will provide a research-guided foundation in peer-to-peer mentoring. Cross-age peer mentoring (older student with younger student) is known to increase self-efficacy, academic performance, and connectedness of mentees while enhancing interpersonal skills of student mentors (Garringer and MacRae, 2008).
The Cultivate ACCESS team is recruiting college ambassadors for the 2026-2027 academic year. Apply today at https://go.unl.edu/ambassadorapply.
