  • Spearheading meaningful, innovative (and fun) environmental activities at their own universities and in their own cities;
  • Gaining valuable professional experience to boost their resumes;
  • Networking with professional and peer mentors throughout the world to solve concrete environmental challenges;

How Does it Work?

GREENWILL Student Ambassadors are assigned a mentor who will help guide their work. They will also receive a Starting toolkit and a guideline to be followed and signed by the Student Ambassador applicant. Ambassadors will join the global forum of young eco-innovators, where they will be able to share ideas and seek advice from GREENWILL's network of students related to solving environmental challenges at the micro (institutional)-level.

Each Student Ambassador will develop and manage a customized work plan of activities. Certain activities are highly recommended by GREENWILL in order to create a more sustainable atmosphere on your campus. These include:

  1. conducting an audit of your university, or university department, to determine ways in which it can become more environmentally friendly (i.e. energy reduction, water reduction, bike paths, etc.);

  2. organizing Green Social events at your university or in your city to further consolidate a local network of environmental enthusiasts;

  3. encouraging your university, organizations, businesses and individuals in your city to take a green pledge, e.g. signing a Green Policy;

  4. undertaking creative outreach (multimedia, petitions, podcasts, social media, school events, etc.) to inspire more people and organizations to be more environmentally sensitive. 

Other ideas are entirely welcomed and will be agreed upon with the GREENWILL Student Ambassador manager when elaborating the Work Plan. This is a flexible, fun, and professionally exciting opportunity. If you have a passion for the environment, if you possess leadership skills and if you want to make a difference and get recognized for it, the GREENWILL Student Ambassadorship is for you. All you need to do is apply.
