Great news! We have an exciting new opportunity for students interested in federal service—and we need your help getting the word out.
The program:
The Federal Service Student Ambassadors program is designed to increase interest in federal service on campuses via a corps of passionate student advocates who will actively promote public service following their completion of a federal internship.
Who is eligible?
Any student interning with a federal agency in Washington, DC this summer (2008) who will be returning to their campus for the 2008-2009 school year is eligible to apply.
Bonus for students:
This is a paid, year-long position, with a stipend of $2,200 and an added $300 stipend for expenses and materials.
Bonus for you:
If a student from your school is selected, we will train the student to do campus outreach promoting federal service. The student will be expected to work with their Career Services office or other similar office to help with events, build federal agency relationships and generally coordinate efforts.
What we need from you:
Spread the word! We’re currently recruiting our inaugural class of Ambassadors, and we need your help reaching out to students that will be serving as federal agency interns this summer. Please post this announcement and send out information to your student, faculty, staff and administrator contacts across all disciplines.
Click here to find a sample email to send out to students. Feel free to use this or create your own language. Students can download applications here or at http://www.makingthedifference.org/index.shtml
