As a Library Ambassador for Penfield, you will gain the opportunity to:
Participation in the Ambassador program is based on your own schedule. We'll kick off the semester with an orientation meeting to introduce you to the library. Following that, you'll fill out your Ambassador plan with the activities you'd like to complete throughout the semester, based on how much time you want to spend and/or your availability. You can choose to do as many activities as you like, and you'll earn points for engagement.
There will be 3 meetings throughout the semester (approximately once per month) to check in with Program Directors, get to know fellow Ambassadors, and discuss your activities.
Finally, we'll have a get together at the end of the semester to celebrate your success.
