What is the Student Ambassador Group?

StopHazing’s Student Ambassadors is a student-led group dedicated to advocating for comprehensive hazing prevention. The group, comprised of students at all levels, especially college and high school students, works together to #StopHazing in communities, schools, and on campuses throughout the U.S. and beyond. Student-leaders involved are driven and passionate about violence prevention, and overall student well-being and thriving.

What will we do?

Expectations & Time Commitment

  • Share your story with U.S. Representatives, Senators, and institution leaders.
• Meetings
  • Attend a monthly 30-45min check-in and planning meeting with your peer Student Representatives and StopHazing staff.
  • Attend other StopHazing events as needed.
• Virtual Presence
  • Representatives will regularly engage with social media platforms throughout the duration of the program. This includes sharing posts, attending webinars, and engaging in the Representative chat channel.
  • Complete one Social Media Takeover per semester. 
  • Contribute to other social media items such as blog posts, infographics, and posts as needed. 
• Stay up-to-date
