Are you passionate about educational equity and looking for a meaningful way to give back in person? As a UPchieve Ambassador, you’ll visit local high schools to spread the word about UPchieve, ensuring that students and educators know free, 24/7 tutoring is available.

What You’ll Do:

  • Give short, engaging presentations to high school students and educators about UPchieve!
  • Share your personal journey and inspire students navigating the same challenges you once faced.
  • Help more students access the free academic support they need!

Why Become an Ambassador?

  • Make a real impact. Many students struggle alone simply because they don’t know UPchieve exists. A few minutes of your time could change that.
  • Gain leadership & public speaking experience. Build confidence in front of an audience and strengthen your communication skills.
  • Boost your resume. Stand out on grad school applications & in job and internships searches.
  • Earn volunteer hours. Get recognized for your contributions.
  • Get paid. We’ll cover your transportation costs and provide a stipend for your time!

We’ve Got You Covered!

  • Virtual training from UPchieve staff.
  • Pre-made presentation, script, and handouts-no prep needed!
  • We set up the time, date, and location-just show up and inspire!

Who Can Apply? Anyone in, or who has graduated from, college
