What we do?
The UQ Outreach Ambassador Program is open to all students no matter their background. What brings them together is a passion for helping others, making a difference and a dedication to empowering students to achieve their goals and ambitions.
As part of the role, Ambassadors facilitate both in-class, whole cohort and on-campus sessions with underrepresented-school students, using their skills in rapport building, public speaking and teamwork to achieve the Outreach team goals.
