STUDENT AMBASSADORS UPDATE — FALL 2025
Ambassadors as campus anchors
The Student Ambassador Program exists because sustainable change on campus requires student leadership, not outside intervention alone. Ambassadors are the connective tissue between Learn N' Lunch, student guilds, faculty advisors, and the students who need practical support.
This fall, we expanded from two campuses to five active ambassador teams.
What ambassadors do
Each ambassador team shares core responsibilities, adapted to their campus context:
- Communications — share accurate event times, locations, and eligibility info through trusted student channels
- Volunteer coordination — recruit, brief, and rotate peers for distribution days
- Feedback collection — gather short student responses after events and flag recurring concerns
- Advocacy — represent student welfare needs in campus dialogues with faculty and administration
Campus snapshot
| Campus | Ambassadors | Focus this semester |
|---|---|---|
| Makerere | 6 | Recurring lunch windows + exam-week support |
| Kyambogo | 4 | Faculty-specific break-time alignment |
| MUBS | 3 | Partnership outreach with business faculty |
| Ndejje | 2 | Pilot launch + volunteer training |
| Gulu | 2 | Research interviews + coalition building |
Training and support
New ambassadors complete a two-part onboarding:
- Program orientation — mission, dignity-centered service, data privacy basics
- Field shadowing — one full distribution day alongside an experienced lead
Monthly virtual check-ins cover logistics, safety, and storytelling guidelines (especially around consent for photos and quotes).
"Being an ambassador taught me that welfare work is also systems work — schedules, signage, and trust."
