The Youth Ambassadors of Pacific Grove is a new organization whose mission is to provide a platform for youth in grades 9th-12th to develop confidence in public speaking and to serve the community as volunteers, spreading goodwill during visits to various civic organizations, and hosting a community festival. Through an application* and interview process, Youth Ambassadors are selected based on their seriousness of purpose and commitment to serve faithfully during their term, which lasts one year. For their service, Youth Ambassadors earn scholarships to pursue post-secondary education.

Once selected, each Youth Ambassador (YA) will choose an entity within Pacific Grove to champion. For example, those who love animals might champion an animal rescue program; those who love reading might champion the Pacific Grove Public Library; those who love science might champion the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History, if caring about the environment is important to you being a champion for the Monarch Sanctuary or Sustainable Pacific Grove might interest you.  Once the YA has chosen an entity to champion, the YA will compose a brief speech highlighting the entity’s purpose and good work and deliver this speech during appearances while serving as a YA.
