Accepting applications from August 31 – September 25
The Sustainability Ambassador Program is a volunteer leadership program for undergraduate and graduate students who are interested in promoting a culture of sustainability at the University of Manitoba. Gain practical career and leadership experience while working with your peers to green UM!
As Sustainability Ambassadors, students will lead and inspire the campus community to learn more about sustainability and explore how sustainability practices can change lives in a positive way.
Applicants to the program will work together to make project plans for the year based on the set theme. The theme for the 2026-27 Sustainability Ambassador program is waste reduction. Ambassadors will have an opportunity to work with their teammates to plan engaging and fun events and activities that raise awareness of proper waste sorting techniques and waste reduction solutions, while benefitting from career-focused workshops with their peers.
Sustainability Ambassadors will be provided with mandatory skill development workshops and ambassadors will be expected to volunteer 0.5-1 hour per week for the Fall and Winter terms (approximately 20 hours total for the academic year). Students will not have responsibilities during exam periods.
Exemplary Sustainability Ambassadors will receive written letters of support or recommendations for internships and jobs, when requested. Other benefits to joining the program include:
