Student Sustainability Opportunities

Applications for the 2022-23 academic year are now open.

Join a supportive community of student volunteers just like you. When you become a Sustainability Ambassador, you'll get a deeper understanding of environmental and social issues, and how to address them.

You'll support sustainability initiatives on campus and in the community - all while inspiring others to adopt sustainable practices. Choose initiatives that match your skills and interests, and decide your time commitment so it works with your schedule.

Benefits:

• Meet like-minded people and expand your networks on campus and in the community.
• Contribute to meaningful initiatives that support themes such as climate action and sustainable development.
• Get credit on your Co-Curricular Record when you contribute more than 20 hours over the academic year. The record is a formal recognition of your out-of-classroom UCalgary experiences.

Applications for the 2022-23 academic year are now open.

Apply by Sept. 23, 2022.
