Student Health Ambassadors

Student Health Ambassadors (SHAs) are undergraduate students trained by SHS staff and other professionals on mental health, substance use, sexual health, and issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Ambassadors have opportunities to:

• Conduct community outreach
• Facilitate conversations with BU students
• Assist with programs and events like Condom Fairy and World Mental Health Day
• Deliver peer listening sessions through All Ears
• Be featured in campus-wide communications such as social media
• Provide feedback and consultation on Student Health Services’ initiatives
• Raise awareness about health and wellness resources

There are many benefits to being a Student Health Ambassador. BU students share that they like:

• Being part of a community of like-minded peers
• Receiving training and education in various wellness topics
• Gaining skills in communication, team work, and program planning
• Strengthening their resume through this professional experience

“Raising awareness of health information and self-advocacy among students is important to me, and as an Ambassador, I can do so.“
