WQPT seeks new ambassadors
WQPT PBS is seeking enthusiastic students to become PBS Ambassadors. High school seniors and college students are invited to join an exciting volunteer team from June to August 2024.
WQPT PBS Ambassadors are a highly trained extension of the WQPT volunteer force, according to a Monday release. Regional college students have fun engaging with the public in a variety of settings like Summer of Adventure, Imagination Station and other station events and activities.
In past years, PBS Ambassadors have come from numerous regional colleges and universities, including Augustana College, Black Hawk College, Illinois College, Illinois State University, Kaplan University, Northern Illinois University, Scott Community College, St. Ambrose University, University of Iowa, Monmouth College and Western Illinois University.
“As a former PBS Ambassador, I understand how important it is to have high school and college students supporting the work of our educational outreach programs,” Melissa Gravert, director of educational outreach at WQPT, said in Monday’s release.
“Students have the opportunity to gain communication and leadership skills while having a positive impact on our community. We offer flexibility in scheduling this volunteer experience and welcome students interested in education, community development, marketing and production,” she said.
