Why Should I Get Involved?

Ambassadors will develop communication, presentation, public-speaking, networking, and leadership skills. Ambassadors develop knowledge and experiences which will be beneficial for personal growth and their journey at UF. Ambassadors will participate in monthly leadership and training opportunities, which will be hosted on topics such as understanding the Social Justice Model of Disability, Disability as an aspect of Diversity, and Confronting Ableism on Campus. Ambassadors will also create and lead accessibility focused programming each semester which aims to educate the campus community on topics such as disability identity and accessibility.
