The Maryland Business Roundtable for Education (MBRT) Student Ambassador Program is a prestigious statewide leadership program that empowers high school students to elevate student voice and influence the future of education in Maryland.
 
Now in its eighth year, the program has grown from five students in 2018 to a diverse cohort representing school districts across the state. The Student Ambassador Program develops emerging leaders and equips students with essential skills for college, career, and civic success.
At MBRT, we believe championing student voices is critical when advocating education policy

What is the Student Ambassador Program?

MBRT Student Ambassadors are selected high school students who represent their districts and share real student perspectives on education, workforce readiness, and community needs. Ambassadors engage with education and business leaders while building leadership, communication, and advocacy skills.
Selection as a Student Ambassador is both a significant achievement and a unique opportunity to make an impact beyond the classroom.
