Black Beyond Borders Ambassadors Program
What is the Black Beyond Borders Ambassadors Program?
The Black Beyond Borders Ambassadors Program was established in 2015 as a semester to year-long leadership program that gives travelers a chance to share their unique experiences with others on campus and through our online platform. With stories and pictures, the traveler, plays a critical role in not only expanding the brand of Black Beyond Borders, but also telling the adventures of Black travelers that often go untold. It is expected that the Ambassador will advocate and encourage other students of the African diaspora to study and travel abroad. Additionally, this program will ensure that students think critically about your time abroad, increase network at their home/abroad institution, and advance their communication and creativity skills.
