2026-2027 College Ambassador Pre Outing Form

This form helps ensure that each planned outing meets the College Ambassador Program requirements and is safe, accessible, and aligned with the goals of the program. Ambassadors should complete the form before promoting or hosting their outing and provide as much detail as possible about the planned activity, location, date, transportation, expected participants, and logistics. The National Park Trust will review each submission and provide approval or follow-up questions as needed. Outings must be approved by the National Park Trust before they take place.
