The Student Ambassador Service Learning Program offers Baltimore City high school students the opportunity to earn hours towards their mandated 75 hours of service by completing volunteer efforts that promote civic engagement within their communities.

Student Ambassadors are leaders in their school and community who will plan and host election education and voter registration efforts to ensure their school is registered and ready for the 2026 elections. Students will also encourage those 16 and older, who are pre-registered to vote, to serve as election judges in the 2026 elections.

To earn service learning hours, Student Ambassadors will participate in training, host activities in their school, meet regularly for ongoing training and support with peer-leaders, and attend other community events that center around civic affairs. These engagements may include being trained to register your peers to vote, hosting voter registration drives in your school, and sharing information with students to serve in the Baltimore Votes Student Election Judge Program in the 2026 Elections, among others.

The program is self-driven, and you will decide when is best to host your events and respond to emails and texts. Students should be prepared to track their hours and work collaboratively with others in their school and their assigned Peer Leader intern.

Prospective Student Ambassadors must be:

• A high school student within Baltimore City limits, who will preferably be 16 in October 2026 (though not a strict requirement). 

• Able to be registered to vote in Maryland. 

• Willing to complete and track hours of service learning between now and November 2026.
