Student Ambassadors

Are you a current post-secondary student who is interested in working with communities to achieve their healthiest potential? Are you passionate about working closely with communities to address public health problems and societal questions that impact health, well-being and sustainability?

Student ambassadors support Canadians in helping their communities achieve their healthiest potential by:

  • collaborating with the Centre scientists and practice affiliates, and
  • participating in the Centre's student ambassador council.

If this sounds like you, submit your request to be involved as a Centre student ambassador. Centre student ambassador memberships are renewed annually in September with the option to remain a student ambassador for one-year post graduation. The next renewal date is September 2020 for all Centre student ambassadors.
