LFLA Ambassadors
Students are selected to be Ambassadors during the Spring/Summer of their Freshman/Sophomore year. There is an application and interview process. Ambassadors are peer helpers selected to represent the student body of LFLAHS.
What are Ambassadors?
Peer helping is based on the fact that youth often seek out their peers when they are experiencing some frustration, worry or concern. Adolescents want to help each other, yet they often do not know how or what to do. Ambassadors are trained and supervised to provide any or all of the following:
- listening and understanding
- friendship and support
- decision making assistance
- tutoring and academic help
- educational information
- role modeling for younger children
- mediation and conflict resolution
- problem-solving assistance
