College Ambassador Program

Are you a student who’s passionate about mental health? Become a Fresh Check Day Ambassador!

Our 2026-2027 cohort is full, but we will be opening applications for the 2027-2028 cohort in the spring!

The Fresh Check Day College Ambassador program is a leadership opportunity for college students passionate about mental health and creating change on their campus.

  • Promote and plan Fresh Check Day on your campus
  • Plan and host a “Bring a Booth to Life” event
  • Be a student voice and champion for mental health on campus
  • Develop leadership skills and network with the national cohort

It is a 10-month commitment, from September through June, and will include monthly meetings with our team and the cohort to connect and share resources.

If selected, each Ambassador will receive a Fresh Check Day swag bag at the beginning of the academic year and a stipend at the end of the academic year contingent on meeting all expectations of the program.

How to Apply

Check back here in early Spring 2027 for applications for our 2027-2028 cohort!

Be a Part of the Difference

“Fresh Check Day is such a refreshing event for students. College is hard and fighting mental illness is even harder. This event is very much a breath of fresh air for students that didn’t feel heard or seen in their mental distress.”
