The Margaritaville University College Ambassador Program started in the Fall of 2016 and has since boasted 1,153 college ambassadors on 360+ college campuses hosting events, creating new products, giving back to local communities and so much more. The ambassadorship has extended beyond the semester and we’re collaborating with college-aged people day in and day out to share the state of mind at latitudes across North America, and when we can, around the world. A beach isn’t required, because our mission is to spread the Margaritaville lifestyle to college students, create a genuine relationship with ambassadors and their peers, and together continue to develop a fun and rewarding ambassador program.

In 1993-- at the request of Our Lady Queen of the Americas Catholic Church-- a handful of volunteers began teaching evening and Sunday classes to 200 parishioners from Central America. With access to just a single computer, the program focused on English as a Second Language (ESL), Graduate Equivalency Degrees (GED), and US Citizenship classes. Job openings were posted on a bulletin board in the hallway. From these humble beginnings, Washington English Center has expanded its English literacy education and workforce preparation programs to adult immigrants from across the greater Washington area. Today, students representing over 100 countries are supported by 350 volunteers each term. These committed, well-trained volunteers act as teachers, tutors, computer lab assistants, librarians, job coaches and mentors.
