As an extension of our educational programming, The Chick Mission is proud to announce our inaugural Student Ambassador Program. This unique offering is designed to engage and empower a group of 10 – 12 high school students around the core mission of women’s healthcare access, education, and advocacy.
Through a personalized eight-week leadership development program beginning in January 2025, participating students will learn the inner workings of a fast-paced, growing nonprofit organization that is changing the status quo of cancer care and fertility, as well as use their voice as a part of The Chick Mission’s flock. The skills students develop through the program will help bolster their confidence in various aspects of their lives, from academic pursuits to future career opportunities. Join us as we empower a new generation of advocates for the future of women’s health!
