Student Ambassadors serve as the face of Willamette Connections Academy to students, parents, and community members.
Who We Are: Student Ambassadors serve as the face of WillCA to new students, parents, and community members. Student Ambassadors develop an understanding of the importance of meaningful and effective human relations, while deepening their practice of valuing diversity and practicing inclusion. They will attend and participate in sessions to build their skills, knowledge, and resources in the areas of leadership, communication, and community service and apply their training to real world experiences that have a direct effect on both their WillCA school community and communities where they live.
