Volunteer (ISAP)

International Student Ambassador Program

The International Student Ambassador Program (ISAP) is an opportunity for international students to share their culture as well as share the experiences they have gained while in the United States with their home country. This may be your opportunity to get involved with campus! The mission of ISAP is to involve current international students in the recruitment and support of BCC international students and outreach to the BCC and local community the importance of international exchange and knowledge of other cultures.

What will the International Student Ambassadors do?

Some of the activities that you may be involved in could include:

• working with newly admitted international students,
• assisting in recruitment in your home country,
• volunteering at the New International Student Orientation(s),
• assisting new students locate a place to live,
• assisting with International Education Week,
• participate in the International Speaker’s Bureau
• and so much more!

What will you gain?

This experience is great for resumes for transfer colleges or jobs! You will gain leadership experience and people skills. This is an activity that you can add to your transfer application under extracurricular activities.
