STUDENT AMBASSADORS TO THE CITY OF PEMBROKE PINES
The City of Pembroke Pines, in conjunction with the Education Advisory Board, hosts a Student Ambassador Program each year. This program is a partnership with the high schools located within the City of Pembroke Pines. The goal of the program is to foster local government awareness in our City's teenage community. Each high school selects Juniors to serve as Student Ambassadors. The Student Ambassadors from the schools participate in a field trip to the City of Pembroke Pines. Throughout the day, the students have opportunities to interact with various departments within the City. The departments included are the Building Department, Human Resources, Finance, Planning and Economic Development, Recreation and Cultural Arts, Fire Prevention, Technology Services, Community Services, Police Department, and Fire Department. The students tour the facilities and meet with key personnel from each department. They learn many facets of local government, how citizens connect with their elected representatives, and how each department operates. In addition, they are recognized at a City Commission meeting.
