CTE Ambassadors
What is the CTE Ambassador Program?
The Ambassador Program provides leadership opportunities for dedicated students participating in Riverside Unified School District Career Technical Education programs. Ambassadors act as experts to represent their CTE program, as well as advocate for all CTE programs at their school and across the district. They organize events, speak on behalf of their program, engage in mentorship, and build leadership skills alongside industry and educational partners.
