Each Ambassador is expected to:
-
Be a good role model at all times (in person and on social media) to others in: actions, words, deeds, and dress.
-
Attend 75% of the scheduled Ambassador meetings/activities. Three unexcused absences are grounds for removal from the program. Meetings (outside of program dates) will be tentatively scheduled once a month and shared early in the Spring. Most meetings will take place on Monday evenings at the Vega residence.
​

-
There are Five ‘sessions’ plus one ball for each season/year = $180 for completion of all sessions.
