Ambassadors at ArtNight Pasadena
The Ambassador Youth Program began in 2001 to provide job experience to high school students through participation at special events held by non-profit and for-profit organizations in the City of Pasadena. The Program provides opportunities for each Ambassador to gain valuable work experience as docents, attendants, event planners, and as spokespersons for the program. A recent poll asked Ambassadors what they liked about the program. These are a few of their responses: “I have learned how to work with others” “Exposure to new opportunities” "Helping the community” "Meeting new people” "Networking with other youth groups and organizations“ Proud supporters of the Northwest Ambassador Youth Program:-North Lake Village Business Association -NATHA -Flintridge Center -Office of Senator Carol Liu -YWCA -Pasadena Playhouse District -Pasadena Heritage -Ability First -Daniel Foundation -WD Edison Neighborhood Association -Day One
