Youth Ambassador Program

The Youth Ambassador Program gives students the opportunity to bring new ideas for Grants and Initiatives from a student’s perspective.

Working with the Cold Spring Harbor Educational Foundation & CSH School District, students learn the importance of outreach, philanthropy & teamwork in an effort to meet their goals.

If you are interested in becoming a Youth Ambassador, please get in touch! Students grades 8-12

Youth Ambassador Grants

The Youth Ambassadors empower students to identify areas of improvement within their schools and communities. After gathering ideas from the student body, we create grant proposals and raise funds through various events to support these initiatives. We then collaborate with the district to bring these projects to life, creating a lasting impact on our school. Here are the completed Youth Ambassador grants:
