Ambassadors Program
Students leading climate education on their own campuses

The program
What ambassadors get
Training is only the start. Ambassadors stay connected to CEFA and to each other while their campaigns grow.
Trainings
Online workshops that prepare ambassadors to start a campaign: understanding their university, surveying students and meeting with decision-makers.
Ongoing mentorship
Ambassadors keep working with CEFA organizers who have run a campaign before, with support at every stage of their own.
Peer learning community
Ambassadors from different universities meet to share what works, swap resources and support each other.
Research and best practices
We study what each campaign learns and turn it into lessons and best practices for the next cohort.
