*Cal Parents Ambassadors* champion UC Berkeley and promote goodwill for the university through a variety of volunteer opportunities – both on and off campus. Each year, this group of parents, grandparents, and guardians play an important role in supporting the Cal community and serving as a valuable peer resource to new and prospective Cal families across the country.

## Become an Ambassador to:

- Be more connected to your student’s college experience
- Meet other Cal parents through volunteerism
- Help a large university feel smaller
- Make a difference for Berkeley

## Benefits of being an Ambassador:

- Network with other Cal parents and grow an extended family
- Get to know Cal Parents staff and Berkeley more intimately
- Gain insider knowledge of resources to benefit your student
- Have a good excuse to visit the campus and see your student!

Annual volunteer opportunities include staffing a Cal Parents & Families information table at:  **Move-In** (*August, Berkeley campus*); **Parents Weekend at Homecoming** *(October, Berkeley campus)*; **Admitted Student Receptions** (*April, in selected U.S. cities*); and **Cal Day** (*April, Berkeley campus*).
