Q: How do I request the Student Ambassadors or other volunteers for our school or site?
A: Aren't they fantastic?! On our most recent strategic plan survey, 86.6% of you responded that the Student Ambassador program was the #1 program where we should be spending our time. We are excited to grow this program to formalize how they can volunteer in the district. While we build systems to ensure you, and they, have an amazing volunteer experience, Student Ambassadors are volunteering for EPSF events that support the district including the EDIEE Awards. They will also be volunteering for events they have previously participated in such as Trunk or Treat and board meeting receptions where there is special recognition. Those who requested volunteers for this school year before the deadline of August 1, 2023 had their volunteer opportunities provided at the annual Student Ambassador orientation in August and are on the volunteer sign-up for this year.
