GLAAD Campus Ambassador Program — Volunteering

GLAAD’s Campus Ambassador Program connects LGBTQ and ally students at U.S. colleges and universities with GLAAD’s youth advocacy work. Ambassadors act in their campus communities while contributing to broader campaigns that promote LGBTQ acceptance and oppose hate.

Official examples include writing digital content and op-eds, organizing campus actions, and participating in national advocacy. The official youth page still lists the program, but no current application cycle or deadline is published; the most recent verified application deadline is from the 2020–21 cycle.
