Will you be enrolled in at least one unit for both Fall and Spring semester?

To be eligible for this program, you must be 18 years of age or older by August 1st. Please indicate whether you meet this requirement.

The Student Ambassador program is an open opportunity for all students, regardless of immigration status. We encourage all eligible students to apply.

To be eligible for this program, you will be asked to submit a W-9 form, which asks for personal information such as a social security number (SSN) or individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN).

An ITIN is a 9-digit number issued by the IRS if a U.S. taxpayer identification number is needed for federal tax purposes, and an individual is not eligible for a Social Security number (SSN).

This ITIN Guide offers information on how to obtain an ITIN. If you would like to speak to an immigration attorney about how an ITIN might impact you, please visit FindYourAlly

Accommodations might be possible, including providing resources and support to get the required documentation.

If selected, would you be able to provide the required documentation (SSN or ITIN)?

How did you hear about this opportunity? If you were referred by someone, please share their name.

Do you speak any additional languages other than English? (Speaking a second language is not a requirement to participate and will not have a negative impact on your application.)

The California Community College Student Ambassador Program trains you to be a leader on campus to spread awareness to your peers around services and programs that support students. These services may include mental health resources, CalFresh, tax credits, low cost auto insurance, other campus resources, and more!

What motivates you to apply for the program and promote resources to your peers?

Share an experience where you helped a friend, classmate, family member or peer access
resources, overcome a challenge or navigate a system. What did you learn from this
experience?

The Ambassador Program requires regular outreach, active participation, and monthly meetings
and training attendance. How will you manage this commitment alongside your other
responsibilities?

Please tell us about your class schedule, work schedule, and other commitments

Friday - Sunday.
