Hometown Ambassadors are volunteers who make presentations at their high schools over Winter Break with the goal of making Harvard more accessible to students in their hometowns. In their presentations, Hometown Ambassadors provide high schoolers with a sense of what it's like to be an undergraduate at Harvard, and topics discussed can include Harvard’s diverse academic opportunities, the unique aspects of student life at Harvard, required application materials, and Harvard’s generous financial aid program. Hometown Ambassadors are provided with materials, support, and training to help them put together effective presentations.
