Aimhigher Northamptonshire Summer School Ambassadors

Summer School Ambassadors (also known as Student Ambassadors or Student Mentors) are essential to the smooth running of the Summer Schools. They are the role models for the young people who are participating, therefore the way in which they handle themselves and deal with the students can have a significant effect on the atmosphere and success of Summer Schools.
