FIUTS Ambassador Programs

About the FIUTS Ambassador Experience

The FIUTS Ambassador Program is a great way for high school and college students in the Seattle area to connect with international visitors and build cross-cultural friendships.

Ambassadors are part of FIUTS programs and gain hands-on experience by:

  • Serving as cultural guides and local hosts

  • Helping plan and lead activities

  • Building connections with students from around the world

From fun activities like scavenger hunts and city outings to meaningful conversations, Ambassadors help bring FIUTS’ mission to life.

You don’t have to attend every required event to participate.

Interested? Sign up to become an Ambassador or fill out the interest form to get updates. There’s no cost to join, and students can earn service hours.

This program is open to current students or recent alumni of high schools, colleges, and universities in the Seattle area.

Please note: This is not a travel program. FIUTS does not manage applications for international exchange programs to the U.S. If you’re looking for those opportunities, contact your school or local U.S. Embassy.

The program expanded my cultural understanding and broke stereotypes that I’ve assumed over the years! Talking and chatting with the participants was such a privilege and the program really showcased what different perspectives had to offer.
