We have well-established programs for college and high school students to work with us.
Teen Ambassadors
Mitzvah Circle’s Teen Ambassador Program provides a unique opportunity for high school students to make a difference in the world and develop leadership skills.
Teen Ambassadors are students entering 9th – 12th grades. This unique leadership program combines service and personal development in a select program that trains high school students to act as guides for new volunteers at our warehouse.
Requirements:
• Participate in an orientation for students and parents/guardians.
• Teen Ambassador Training – Our next available round of training sessions will take place are June 26th, June 27th, and June 28th. Teen Ambassadors need to attend all three sessions.
• After training, volunteer at least 12 times as a “Group Leader”. Teen Ambassadors lead groups of new volunteers in packing boxes of personalized necessities for families in need and in other projects in the warehouse.
→ Teen Ambassadors can volunteer during any available Warehouse Volunteer shift.
Students who continue serving as Teen Ambassadors after their first year can become Leadership Fellows, helping to train new groups of Teen Ambassadors.
