Ambassador Volunteer

The REACH Ambassador Volunteer offers Rush staff, faculty, students, and SAME legacy scholars the opportunity to be an ambassador for specific REACH programs and school communities. REACH ambassadors will help move our mission and vision forward by giving their time to several of our yearly ongoing programs, which include career panel presentations, mentorship, tutoring, and preceptorship. Interested ambassadors would be considered brand ambassadors as well as volunteers for REACH.

REACH is founded on the idea that opportunities, readiness and higher educational attainment can improve lives. To support this core belief, we continue to provide a variety of programming to students in the West Side community.
By committing your time as a volunteer with REACH, you will be contributing to guiding, teaching, and pushing students to be healthcare change agents of the future.
