About the Young Alumni Ambassadors

The purpose of the Young Alumni Ambassador program is to provide young alumni with opportunities to engage with fellow young alumni through a curriculum focused on professional and personal development. The curriculum will be devoted to enhancing the connections between young alumni, the Penn State Alumni Association, and Penn State University. Participants will develop into confident and capable leaders, feeling inspired to increase their own participation and motivate others to give back to the Alumni Association and the University through volunteerism, membership, and active engagement.
