Festival Ambassadors will receive:

Please note, this is a volunteer position. Festival Ambassadors will be expected to commit 1-2 hours / week.

All UVA undergraduate and graduate, part-time and full-time students of any year are welcome to apply. First and second year students are especially encouraged to apply.
