2025 Ambassador Program

2023 Ambassadors laughing

Jobs for the Future (JFF) is seeking ambassadors for the 2025 Horizons Summit, where we bring together leaders and changemakers in the workforce and education field. The ambassadors program engages young adults who represent the voice of learners and early career talent in the Horizons experience and puts young people at the center of our conversations.  

Ambassadors have been featured on the Horizons main stage, interviewed CEOs, and created meaningful opportunities for dialogue for Horizons attendees. Want to get involved? Read more below!
