AMBASSADOR PROGRAM
BGGA offers a unique opportunity to outstanding
juniors and seniors. We provide high achieving individuals
a chance to polish their leadership skills on a peer level
before they attend college.
The Ambassador Program is an opportunity for our
students to draw upon their unique skills and talents to
make a positive difference in the lives of others. These
young leaders learn valuable skills and experience in
mentoring and leading others and demonstrate strong
character traits and civic responsibility.
Each Ambassador must maintain a 3.0 GPA and be in good
standing in the BGGA community. The Ambassador is the
head of their household and inspires fellow students to
take pride in their home. Ambassadors generate a chore
list and a rotation of these responsibilities with his or her
housemates. They serve as a liaison between housemates
and staff. Ambassadors as a group have the responsibility
of being the student council of BGGA, meeting twice a
month and discussing student body issues. The goal of
these discussions is that the team of Ambassadors will
come up with enlightened solutions. During this student
council meeting they are also trained with additional
leadership skills using the Habitudes for Building Student
Leaders program.
Ambassadors oversee safety in their homes, being the
first line on any issue and quickly calling in house parents
to assist. They are trained in fire safety by the local fire
department and are knowledgeable about fire
extinguishers and alarms in their residencies. Additionally,
ambassadors have the privilege of becoming certified
in first aid.
