College Students

Why become a Cultivate ACCESS Ambassador?

For college students, serving as a Cultivate Ambassador is an opportunity to develop leadership, mentoring, and communication skills while making a meaningful impact. Serving as an Ambassador allows you to share your story and serve as a role model for high school student Scholars. 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).

Ambassadors receive training and ongoing support, gain valuable professional experience, and build strong connections with peers, faculty, and the community. The role is well suited for students who are passionate about mentorship, education, and giving back.
