Ambassador Program
In addition to the educational portion of the teen program, the GoGirlGo! Ambassador Program encourages girls to be leaders in their schools and communities by getting inactive girls involved in physical activity. Girls ages 13-18 can visit the Ambassador Headquarters and sign up at www.GoGirlWorld.org/Ambassador. Official Ambassadors promise to get at least one other girl active in the next year. As Ambassadors, girls are also eligible to apply for a $2,500 grant through the GoGirlGo! Ambassador Team Awards championed by Gatorade.
