International Student City Ambassador Program
City Ambassador volunteers are trained volunteers who rove the city centre retail core in distinctive red uniforms answering all kinds of queries from Melbourne's diverse community – from people who've come from across the world to those who've come from across town.
Volunteers provide their services without financial payment and offer a friendly and informative welcome to visitors.
The International Student City Ambassador Program encourages international students to get involved and be trained as a City Ambassador for a three-month period.
