The American Indian College Fund Announces 11 2023-24 Student Ambassadors
GlobalMindED congratulates the 2023-2024 cohort, as we recognize the important work that the AICF does. With 42% of the Native American population today under the age of 24, the College Fund sees an opportunity to educate the next generation of young Native leaders to realize their potential. Students named to the program are trained in leadership and communications skills to create greater visibility of Native Americans and generate an understanding of the importance of their diverse cultures. The 11 student ambassadors help the College Fund create greater visibility about higher education and the work the College Fund, Native students, and tribal colleges are doing to create a better future for Native peoples and communities. (see this short video)
