Student ambassadors are MiraCosta students hired by the School Relations/Diversity Outreach Department. Ambassadors serve as peer advisers to high school students in district schools, develop workshops for elementary and junior high school students, provide information at community events, provide on-campus tours, and perform a variety of other high-profile assignments. Ambassadors must be enrolled in at least six units, maintain a 2.5 grade point average, and be available to work between 5 and 15 hours per week.
