Undergraduate Leadership Ambassadors

Has the Center for Leadership (CFL) had a positive impact on you? Share your enthusiasm and support with your peers by becoming a Leadership Ambassador!

Leadership Ambassadors help CFL reach more students and foster leadership dialogue across the university. They contribute to CFL projects by developing new initiatives and connecting with fellow student leaders.

Typical Projects


Marketing Endeavors

Leadership Ambassadors visit student groups, attend activity fairs, and share student testimonies on social media to encourage undergraduate students to take advantage of the opportunities available to them through CFL.

Leadership Ambassadors will manage and create content for CFL's social media platforms, publishing weekly posts that are relevant to CFL and Northwestern University students.

Leadership Ventures

Leadership Ambassadors develop and administer various leadership ventures throughout the academic year, including hosting events and engaging in outreach activities in collaboration with the Program Coordinator.

Specific goals include recruiting students for the Undergraduate Leadership Certificate Program (ULP) and applicants for the Fellowship in Leadership Program, as well as hosting quarterly events.

  • Will receive a quarterly stipend.
