Calling all students: Fly the Mo flag on campus
The Movember Student Ambassador Programme is officially open for applications.
Students step right up – Movember is looking for Student Ambassadors to lead the charge on campus for Movember 2024.
Have you got confidence, enthusiasm, awesome ideas and a burning desire to do some good in the world? If that sounds like you, get on board and let’s change the face of men’s health together.
" Being a Movember Student Ambassador has been the single greatest experience of my life. It's given me so much and it will always be a huge part of my life. "
- Harry, University of Newcastle
What we want from you
As a Student Ambassador, you’ll lead your university in Movember’s nation-wide fundraising challenge. Competing for glory against over 100 unis, you will:
- Rally sign-ups among students from all areas of your uni
- Inspire students to fundraise for Movember, offering support, ideas and motivation throughout the month
- Host fun and engaging events
- Create a powerful sense of community across campus
And all while spreading life-saving awareness of the three key health issues facing men today: mental health & suicide prevention, prostate cancer and testicular cancer.
How does it all happen?
The programme starts with training at Mo HQ in London (accommodation and travel costs are covered). The Movember team train Ambassadors on all things Movember, with talks and workshops from staff as well as previous Ambassadors, giving them the tools, confidence and knowledge to go away and run a kick-ass campaign with their fellow students.
When does it start?
Kicking off in Fresher’s Week, ambassadors take over their SU, sports clubs and societies, recruiting students to sign up and join their university challenge page. It’s all to play for each year in the university leaderboard, with lots of creative fundraising activities. Last year saw shave downs, ultramarathons, cold water swimming, dance-a-thons and of course, lots of Mo growing.
Why would you want to do it?
It's an amazing opportunity for students looking to gain key skills and experience in leadership, marketing, events and fundraising. In return, all Ambassadors will receive references from Movember, personalised support from Movember staff, and special consideration for a summer internship at Mo HQ in London.
Chichester Ambassador, Freddie Rainbow, shares how rewarding taking part in fundraising and events was. He says;
“It allowed me to step out of my comfort zone, tackle challenges and contribute to a cause that’s greater than myself. I also had a great time organising a diverse array of events, whilst spreading joy and positivity throughout.
Personally, it's been one of the most rewarding experiences during my time at Chichester, enabling me to forge friendships that would have otherwise been impossible.”
Yes, I'm in. So now what?
