Answer 16

Being an Ambassador is a form of business internship. It includes training and you get experience in online communications and business culture topics. It is also a form of volunteerism. This means it can be used on both college and business applications as a reference to skill development and proof of community involvement. More than one past ambi have done so and commented that it generated interest in the people reviewing their applications.
