Who We Are

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

Made up of students from across the U.S., this group encourages students to expand their networks, learn about the global nonprofit sector, and support Smile Train's programs.

This past year has meant so much to me! Before becoming an ambassador, I had never met anyone else with cleft, and I didn’t realize how big and supportive this community really is. Being part of Smile Train has honestly changed my life, as it’s helped me find more confidence in my cleft, and sparked a passion for helping other kids with cleft.

Become a Smile Train Student Ambassador: One Project. One Purpose. One Big Impact.

November 2025 – May 2026

Smile Train’s Student Ambassador program is an opportunity for high school students to make a real difference in other young people’s lives. Student Ambassadors spread compassion for children with clefts, raise awareness of Smile Train’s sustainable model, and spread smiles among their classmates, neighbors, friends, and each other.

In the program, you’ll also take ownership of a project that matters to you. You’ll gain hands-on experience, training from experts, and the chance to network with peers from across the country. This isn’t just volunteering – it’s leadership with real impact.
