The Kamloops Ambassador Society provides training and mentorship to youth in our community.

Participants in the program are from Grades 10 to 12. Candidates are responsible for finding their own sponsor who will support them throughout the program.

Once enrolled, participants take part in a six month program that includes a variety of classes and community events. During their time as candidates, participants compete in different events including a prepared speech, interviews, knowledge of Kamloops, participation, sponsor presentations and impromptu speech.

The program culminates in the final part of the competition that is open to the public and held in July. Three youth are selected as Ambassadors to represent the City of Kamloops for one year. During this year, the Ambassadors attend community events, volunteer with local organizations and travel the province promoting Kamloops. At the end of their year as Ambassadors, they are recognized with a bursary to support their selected education path.
