Alumni Ambassador Programs

Dear Alumni Ambassador:

Welcome back! All of us here at CIEE hope that you found your exchange experience a unique and rewarding one. As a way to stay involved and encourage others to do the same, CIEE offers former program participants the opportunity to become Alumni Ambassadors.

What is the Alumni Ambassador Program?
Being an Alumni Ambassador means sharing your experience with others in your community. It is a great way to keep the exchange going, and a productive way to educate your peers and teachers about the country you visited. Plus, you get paid for it!

How do I get involved?
There are many ways for Alumni Ambassadors to participate. We have offered a few suggestions below, however, when it comes to sharing your study abroad experience, the sky's the limit! Just remember to make it personal. Bring your photos, stories, and be honest about your experience and what it takes to be an exchange student.

Class Presentation
Arrange a time to do a 15-minute presentation to your language class. Bring pictures, stories, and a few brochures along to teach other students about your exchange experience.

Throw a Themed Party - on CIEE!
Throw a themed get-together for students from your school. Serve tapas, nachos or "shrimp on the barby" (whatever suits your experience best) at an after-school gathering or language club meeting. Send us the receipts for the snacks and we'll even reimburse you (up to $20)!

Represent CIEE at a Cultural Fair
Many schools and community groups sponsor cultural fairs. We'll send you materials to set up a table and talk to interested students about your experience abroad.

Where do I get materials?
Contact CIEE to request brochures, posters and country specific sheets. Remember, we have both summer and academic programs in several different countries. We'll send you what you need for your Alumni Ambassador Program. Call us at 800.448.9944 and ask for Outbound Programs.

Your Reward
Alumni Ambassadors who complete a project and return the attached form (pdf) to CIEE, will receive $25 for their efforts. If any of the students you speak to travels on a CIEE exchange program, you will receive a $100 referral fee for each student!
