Words From A Student Ambassador

Three years ago I was going through a phase during which most of my life was revolving around the wrong crowd of people. At this time one, of my best friends had been telling me that he wished to take his own life. I had no idea what to do or how to handle such a situation, so I decided to call Kids Help Phone. The night I called, I was in a rush and sadly enough, my call was not answered before I had to go. Although right now my friend is okay, I decided that it was time for me to leave this crowd of friends that was holding me back and decided help Kids Help Phone so that youth like me could receive the service they need when they need it. I didn’t want anyone else to be put on hold again for as long as I was; I wanted to make a difference.

For more Information Concering the Student Ambassador Student Program, Please visit our main website :

Student Ambassador Program Webpage

The Idea for this program came to life when the program's founder's friend's life was saved by Kids Help Phone form suicide. The founder believed that raising awareness through other youth was the best way to promote the Kids Help Phone Service.

The main goal of the Student Ambassador program is raising awareness though things like presnetations at schools, and information booths at community events.

Returns are numerous! Not only are you likley to get yourself a fashionable marshmellow sweater, free of charge, but also this program allows you benefits such as a chance to win a scholarship after highschool or Cegep. You also develop skills that can be translated and used in workforce environments. You learn and gain leadership and public speaking skills while having a great time. Not only are you helping a wonderfull cause, you're helping yourself :)

The Student Ambassador Program is sponsered by BMO Financial group.
