Ambassadors Program

Beginning in Spring 2018, the Center began offering the Susan B. Anthony Center (SBAC) Ambassadors Program to connect University students to the surrounding Rochester community through volunteer work at local non-profit service organizations.

SBAC Ambassadors will help agencies with volunteer needs at one-day events or on short-term projects such as walks, dinners, and inventory organization. By supporting agencies in this capacity, students will benefit organizations by providing extra help that is needed to enable them to fulfill their goals as they conduct programming, raise funds, and serve clients in the local community.

A central goal of the program is to offer students a place to find volunteer opportunities in the Rochester community outside of traditional groups such as Greek life and Student Association clubs, and also benefits students who are unable to commit to those groups. This enables students to be a part of a volunteer group that helps the community with less time constraints and offers them flexibility.

The program is also great for UR students already involved in other groups who want to increase their volunteerism. Additionally, the program offers students the opportunity to be a part of a group that benefits the community while gaining community engagement and networking experience.
