These Advocacy Ambassadors go on to bring exposure and awareness to local partners of the social impact community, not only learning to apply themselves, their gifts and skill sets in their local community, but earning student service learning hours in the process. They gain necessary life skills such as time management, interpersonal communication, teamwork, problem solving, work ethic, attention to detail and creativity. Other skills include administration, marketing, customer service, writing, design, computer, and presentation skills. <p style="color:rgb(34, 34, 34);font-family:garamond, "times new roman", serif;font-size:large;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;width:100%;box-sizing:inherit"> <p style="color:rgb(34, 34, 34);font-family:garamond, "times new roman", serif;font-size:large;font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;width:100%;box-sizing:inherit"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;color:rgb(51, 51, 51);font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;font-variant-alternates:normal;vertical-align:baseline;box-sizing:inherit">These strategic partnerships forged by our BJC Advocacy Ambassadors with local non-profit, corporate and community leaders bring mutual benefit to our students and communities while promoting college and career readiness fostering valuable social responsibility.
