Student-Athlete Campus Ambassadors
Morgan’s Message® Student-Athlete Campus Ambassador Program supports motivated students to become active leaders and advocates of mental health on their campus and in their communities. Our ambassadors are student volunteers, 14+ years of age, enrolled in high school, or attending a college/university.
By raising awareness about the challenges student-athletes face at your schools, we can drive change, eliminate the stigma surrounding mental health, and save lives.
With your support, we can expand awareness of student-athlete mental health. Thank you for your dedication to Morgan’s Message®. We look forward to working together and taking a shot at mental health.
Morgan’s Message® Liaisons and staff will work closely with you, and your group, to provide resources and skills needed to reach students across your campus and local community. We provide guidance on launching a Morgan’s Message™ chapter on your campus, and ensure you are equipped with best practices, programming materials, and skills to grow a successful program.
