ALAKA'I STUDENT AMBASSADOR PROGRAM
The Mākia Alaka’i Student Ambassador Program empowers and elevates seasoned student entrepreneurs by allowing them to take on leadership positions within the wider Mākia program. Through the program, ambassadors drive innovation and inspire the next cohort of creators by bridging the gap between aspiration and achievement. Harnessing the power produced when ambitious and creative minds come together, ambassadors collaborate to cultivate a community in which student entrepreneurs can connect, learn, and thrive in their respective journeys.
