Ambassador Program

Bring your people. We’ll help get you there.

Lead on your campus — and your leadership may help support your own immersion.

Student-Led Model · Student Ambassador

You make the connection. Help your peers discover opportunities to serve, learn, and experience the world differently.

As a Student Ambassador, you help bring Help2Serve.Care opportunities to your campus through authentic peer-to-peer outreach. Share the experience, build awareness, answer questions, and connect interested students with opportunities that align with their interests.

Your role is about connection and engagement — introducing fellow students to international service and helping turn individual interest into a community of students ready to participate. There is no charter to file and no committee to form.

Rally a Group

Invite friends, classmates, teammates, and other students around a shared international service-learning experience.

Build the Connection

Share opportunities, answer questions, support campus conversations, and help interested students take the next step.

Grow as a Leader

Develop real experience in outreach, communication, organization, peer engagement, and group leadership.

The Full Participant Experience

One Immersion. More Ways to Grow.

One immersion can create meaningful opportunities to advance career development, leadership, academic growth, service-learning, mentorship, and global citizenship — all while contributing to the communities we serve.

Student Leadership Recognition

Lead on campus. Build community. Help make international service possible for your peers — and for yourself.

As a Student Ambassador or Campus Club Leader, you can play an important role in bringing students together around meaningful international service-learning opportunities. Through peer outreach, campus engagement, and student leadership, you help build awareness, connect interested students with Help2Serve.Care, and contribute to the development of a qualifying cohort.

Your leadership can help support your own immersion. In recognition of meaningful student leadership and contribution to cohort development, eligible Student Ambassadors and Campus Club Leaders may receive full Phase One program-cost coverage, and a leadership honorarium, and thus also eligible round-trip economy airfare.

You Don’t Have to Build a Cohort Alone.

The minimum cohort of 20 participants may be developed collectively. Student Ambassadors, Campus Club Leaders, faculty, and other approved campus partners may all contribute to the development of the same cohort.

Your eligibility is based on documented leadership, meaningful peer engagement, and contribution to cohort development. Individual student leaders are not required to independently generate the minimum cohort of 20 participants.

Exact cohort levels and award amounts are confirmed when you apply — and we’ll help you plan toward the level you’re aiming for. On top of the award, we help your whole group fundraise, so cost is not the thing that stops anyone.

Leadership first.

The Student Leadership Program is designed to recognize students who take an active role in building campus awareness, strengthening peer engagement, and creating a community around service-learning.

Program-cost awards recognize this broader leadership contribution and are not represented as payment for individual student referrals.

All awards and travel benefits are subject to Help2Serve.Care eligibility requirements, applicable program terms, and any relevant policies or approvals of the student’s institution.

Being a Student Campus Ambassador isn't a favor you do for us. It's an opportunity that pays you back in experience, recognition, and growth you can carry into any career.
