Are you passionate about sustainability and want to leave a positive impact at UMBC? If you said yes, then look no further because the Eco-Ambassador (EA) program was designed for students just like you!
What does an Eco-Ambassador do?
The Eco-Ambassadors are a core group of sustainability peer educators. As a peer educator, you will play a vital role in the promotion of sustainable living at UMBC. Peer education embraces the idea that members of the community, rather than outside experts, are in the best position to encourage choices for sustainable living.
As an Eco-Ambassador you will have the freedom to work alongside the EA team on a project of your choosing. You will work closely with the Office of Sustainability and your fellow ambassadors to achieve your goals for the year. For the 2022/2023 school year, Eco-Ambassadors will be working on getting UMBC certified as a Plastics Reduction Partner. In addition to working on that certification, Eco-Ambassadors will be responsible for planning sustainability-themed events for Campus Sustainability Month & Earth Day. The program is created not only to make UMBC more sustainable, but also help students gain skills and professional experience.

In addition to our 7 Eco-Ambassadors, we have one Eco-Ambassador Team Leader. This position is new for the 2022-2023 school year and was open to a returning Eco-Ambassador to provide a leadership and guidance role to the cohort.
