Richter Center Ambassadors

The Richter Center Ambassadors program engages Fresno State students in meaningful leadership opportunities in the fields of community engagement and service-learning.  As Ambassadors, the student participants serve as representatives of the Richter Center to both the Fresno State community and the community-at-large.  Ambassadors are students with an exceptional dedication to service that wish to share the values of these activities with their peers.

Academic year 2008-09 marked the founding year of the Richter Center Ambassadors program. Since then, dozens of students have served in this role. These student-leaders represent a variety of majors, interests, skill sets, year-in-school, and backgrounds that reflect the diversity of the Fresno State student body. Richter Center Ambassadors volunteer on average three-four hours per week to the program by completing office hours, attending a weekly team meeting, and attending various events and projects.

Since the program’s inception, the Ambassadors have been engaged in numerous activities including: creating and implementing the Picture the Change campaign to assist Fresno State students, faculty, and staff in creating pledges to positively impact the community; representing Fresno State at service related forums, conferences, and symposiums; participating in leadership trainings and workshops; representing Fresno State service efforts to community leaders and the media; assisting and supporting Richter Center events and service projects like Make a Difference Day, Serving Fresno Day, and Kid’s Day; among many other activities.
