Who We Are

Smile Train's Student Ambassadors are a group of high school students who are passionate about making a difference.

Smile Train’s Student Ambassador Program empowers high school students to lead meaningful change while building real-word leadership skills.

One Project. One Purpose. One Big Impact.

As a Student Ambassador, you won’t just volunteer. You’ll design and lead your own personal, impactful initiative and join a national community of changemakers making a real difference for children with clefts around the world.

As a Student Ambassador, you’ll:
  • Create and lead your own fundraising project
  • Raise at least $800 to support life-changing cleft care
  • Receive 1:1 mentorship and group Zoom support
  • Earn your spot at our annual conference in NYC
Why Join?
  • Make a global impact
  • Build leadership and project experience
  • Join a passionate student community

"Being a Smile Train Student Ambassador has been incredibly meaningful to me. It’s pushed me out of my comfort zone through fundraising and raising awareness for a cause I care about. Meeting doctors and individuals with lived experience has given me a new perspective on healthcare and compassion."
