who are the glaad campus ambassadors?
GLAAD Campus Ambassadors are a volunteer network of LGBTQ and ally college and university students who work with GLAAD and within their local communities to build an LGBTQ movement to accelerate acceptance and end hate and discrimination.
why it matters
GLAAD Campus Ambassadors play a pivotal role in shaping culture by amplifying the voices and vision of young LGBTQ people. GLAAD's 2017 Accelerating Acceptance report revealed that 20% of young people identify as LGBTQ. Yet, the fact remains that more than 30% of Americans polled say they are uncomfortable with LGBTQ people in their families, schools, and communities.
become a glaad campus ambassador
GLAAD is seeking to train and work with current undergraduate students as our Campus Ambassadors for the 2019-2020 academic year. GLAAD Campus Ambassadors help build sustainable and inclusive programming for LGBTQ and ally university students and youth, all while learning GLAAD’s best practices on leveraging media to create change.
