STUDENT AMBASSADOR PROGRAM
About The Ambassador Program
The mission of the Collegiate Public Forum League is to expand accessible debate opportunities to college students around the country. The student ambassador program is a core part of implementing this mission. By working with motivated students across college campuses, the CPFL hopes to support new programs across the nation. Critically, student ambassadors are expected to embrace program building. The CPFL is here to help by providing resources and advice.
Team captains and student leaders can apply to the student ambassador program. Meetings will be hosted online once a month during the season to work with experienced coaches and directors covering a range of topics related to building a strong public forum debate team. Interested students should complete the form below. Meetings will begin at the end of August.
