The EF Ambassador Program

You already work with great students.

This program helps them grow, give back, and represent exchange in your community.

The Ambassador Program helps students stay engaged, reflect on their exchange, and share the spirit of hosting in your community.

Exchange students can opt in throughout the year and participate in various activities.

What this program builds in students

Gratitude for their host family, school, and support network

Stronger connection to the exchange community

Emotional growth and self-confidence

Leadership experience, initiative & sense of ownership

Your role as an IEC

Good news: You can be as supportive and as involved as you want! Participation is student-led, with zero expectations for coordinators.
