Student Global Ambassador Program (SGAP Leaders)

As a local non-profit organization, we provide a vehicle for our motivated teens to come together and find solutions to pressing problems ranging from climate change and fossil fuels to related social issues such as access to clean water, food shortages (and waste), teen suicide and human trafficking.

We offer workshops, tours and discussions for teens, schools, and youth groups.

MISSION

SGAP Leaders empowers underserved teens to become agents of change in their communities and beyond by thinking critically, applying STEM, and championing social justice.

Our workshops challenge students from different schools, regions and countries to think critically around real issues that affect real lives; as a result they develop leadership and team building skills; and through the process, they gain a voice and feel empowered. Some of our graduates have been accepted to all Ivy League Universities, interned at Picatinny Arsenal (Department of Defense), or have accepted a full-time marketing position with APPLE.

TEENS - Join our service project opportunities: beautify local community farms, feed lunch to the homeless, clean-up your local park, create gifts for seniors or sort food at a local food bank. Teens also apply to be Service Fellows and design, develop and execute their own community service projects that align with our mission.

ADULTS - We need volunteers to facilitate our Climate Action Clinics & Sustainability Challenge. These are small groups of high school students during our in-person and/or virtual workshops (will be trained). We also need volunteers to register students and schools during our in-person and virtual events, write our impact reports, or participate in/manage community service projects with students on select Saturday mornings. We have virtual opportunities for you to serve as well!

We are also seeking experts in non-profit bookkeeping and accounting, administrative support, event planning, volunteer coordinating, website/social media communication and management. Contact mj@sgapleaders.org
