I joined the Ambassador Program because I thought it was a great opportunity for me to get more involved in my community and make a difference. I also wanted to continue to work with hEr VOLUTION after being a part of their STEMing UP program. Throughout the Ambassador Program, I was able to meet so many amazing people that helped me learn more about how I can spread hEr VOLUTION’s message and goals by getting to help run different programs and advertise on social media. Overall, I learned a lot and got so many new opportunities!

I joined the Ambassador Program because I was already promoting hEr VOLUTION to everyone I know, and this allowed me to continue doing so in a more formal capacity. As an Ambassador, I was able to see all the behind the scenes workings that go into running programs like GO!stem, and have a direct hand in their planning and administration. I was given the opportunity to teach coding lessons, network on behalf of the organization, and work with an awesome team. Through the Ambassador Program I gained a greater understanding and appreciation of hEr VOLUTION’s impact, which has led me to many opportunities since.
