StopHazing Student Ambassadors Program

What is the Student Ambassadors Program?

StopHazing’s Student Ambassadors is a student-led group dedicated to hazing prevention education and advocating for its comprehensive 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

We know that as a busy student-leader your time is limited and valuable. As a Student Representative, we hope for you to contribute a few hours (or more!) per month as you are able. Throughout the year, your tasks, projects, and campaigns may shift, however, hazing prevention policy advocacy will be the focus of the Student Ambassadors Program.

You will be expected to…

• Share your story.
  • Draft a testimonial or statement for why hazing prevention or hazing prevention policy is important to you and share it with StopHazing and beyond.
  • Share your story with U.S. Representatives, Senators, and institution leaders (see below!)
• Outreach to representatives.
  • Contact your federal representatives and urge them to sponsor the Stop Campus Hazing Act.
  • Encourage friends and your networks to also contact their representatives.
• Check-in with the team.
  • Attend a monthly 30-45min check-in and planning meeting with your peer Student Representatives and StopHazing staff.
• Stay up-to-date.
  • Read and respond as necessary to emails from StopHazing. These may include anything from policy or communications updates to social media sharing to just plain fun and networking opportunities.
