Expanding the reach of our educational programming, The Chick Mission has engaged a fantastic cohort of peeps for our inaugural 2025 High School Student Ambassador Program. Get to know our 2025 Ambassadors here!
This program is designed to empower a group of dedicated, passionate high school students around the core mission of women’s healthcare access, education, and advocacy. Through this personalized ten-week leadership development curriculum (January-April), participating high school students 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 help bolster their confidence in various aspects of their lives, from academic pursuits to future career opportunities.
If you are interested in learning more about our 2026 cohort, please fill out this interest form; our application cycle will open in November 2025 for the 2026 cohort. Join us and become an advocate for the future of women’s health!
