What is the Sustainability Ambassador Peer Program?
Sustainability Ambassadors organize, promote and deliver sustainability education programming for UBC students. Working closely with the student advisor and the UBC Sustainability Initiative (USI) team, Sustainability Ambassadors (SA) develop life-long leadership skills by organizing and planning events, networking with other sustainability-related student groups and fostering peer support for sustainability education. SA’s raise awareness and develop opportunities for UBC students to incorporate sustainability into their studies.

Who We Are:
