Lead with heart. Honor the fallen.
Become a Believe With Me Student Ambassador and turn your care for Gold Star families into real events, real fundraising, and real impact in your community.
We're looking for students who lead with heart.
Someone who cares about honoring Gold Star families and wants to turn that care into action — not just show up, but show up ready to plan events, spread the word on social media, raise funds, and build real connections in the community.
This program will bolster your high school experience and your college application in real, tangible ways — and we are looking for students who aren't afraid to bring their ideas to the table. Whether your strengths are in event planning, storytelling, design, public speaking, or simply rallying people around a cause — if you're ready to be part of something bigger than yourself, we want to hear from you.
Students who serve families of fallen service members through fundraising, service projects, and by spreading awareness of the high cost of our freedoms, earn the title of Student Ambassador.
Real service for the families of America's fallen.
Ambassadors help wrap and deliver gifts to Gold Star children across the country.

What You'll Do as an Ambassador
-
Start a Club, or Join a Local Club
You can either join an existing club, or gather a group of friends to start a club that meets at your school, or plan to meet outside of school with a group of friends. Arrange for a teacher or parent leader to oversee your club. Once you have decided which type of club works best, schedule a meeting with the team at Believe With Me.
-
Organize Your Initiatives
Plan your fundraising efforts: a car wash, a bake sale, a Freedom Formal, or other events to help meet your club's fundraising goals. We are here to help you bring HOPE to families of fallen service members, while teaching your friends about the high cost of their freedoms and opportunities.
-
Spread Awareness
YOU can be a leader in your school and community! Let others know there is a way to HELP and HONOR families of the fallen! And that freedom comes at a high cost to many.
-
Impact Your Community
When people see students come together to honor and serve families of fallen service members, the impact is HUGE.
Benefits of Becoming an Ambassador
Believe With Me's Student Ambassador program offers leadership opportunities for individuals through student clubs within their school or their community. Students will gain valuable experience through events or service projects designed to bring together their peers, companies or corporations, veterans, and families of fallen service members.
Student Ambassadors are highly regarded and can list their service projects and learned leadership skills on resumes or college applications. This can show the strength of the student's individual leadership, management skills, and social responsibility. Other advantages include the opportunity to network with other student ambassadors, foster personal and professional relationships, and support families of fallen service members through the mission of Believe With Me.
- Gain valuable experience leading peers
- Learn tangible skills in budgeting, planning events, and communication
- Get service hours for volunteer work
- Stand out in your community as a patriot
- Build your resume for college or employment
