Student Ambassadors

Student Ambassadors at De La Salle Collegiate are the best representatives of the school. They interact and engage with prospective families, alumni, and friends of De La Salle while also promoting the school and its programs.
 

They provide information and insight about the school as part of Admissions and Advancement activities, special events, community service projects, and speaking engagements.

Ambassadors must understand the Lasallian mission, and have the following personal qualities: a sincere respect and appreciation for their De La Salle experience and comfort in discussing it; a desire to learn; enthusiasm; leadership; responsibility; dependability; dedication; and punctuality.

Ambassadors must possess good speaking skills, and enjoy interacting with a variety of people. They will have opportunities to improve their leadership skills in a variety of settings, and must maintain a positive demeanor that reflects well on De La Salle as they interact with current and prospective students and alumni. In doing so, Ambassadors enjoy the tangible benefits of networking opportunities, and building their portfolio of experiences.
