Summer School Ambassador Application
Would you like to make a difference this summer by working on one of our Post-16 Summer Schools?
Each year, the Widening Participation and Outreach team runs several summer events which provide students from underrepresented backgrounds with invaluable insight into Higher Education.
The participants consistently highlight the student ambassadors as what makes these events such a success. Feedback includes comments such as they "had the best ambassadors ever at Warwick. They truly cared about us".
It's not just the students who get a lot out of it - these events are a great opportunity for you to develop a wide variety of skills, such as teamwork, empathy, resilience and communication. Previous ambassadors have reported that "the ambassadors worked so well as a team and the kids were really thriving as a result. It was so rewarding!".
Working on this event will give you invaluable experience, skills and knowledge to talk about on future job or internship applications, and the WP team will be happy to act as a reference for ambassadors who have worked with us on residential events.
Applications are open and will close on Monday 6 June 2022.
