The CNI Ambassadors Program is a two-quarter long program that immerses a select number of UCLA students in the initiative. Ambassadors will be trained to communicate the CNI and UCLA’s general sustainability goals through an interactive curriculum. As an ambassador, you will learn about the CNI, work on a project of interest, and get paid!
