Visit Tyler is proud to announce the students who have been chosen to serve as this year’s Rose City Ambassadors.
The Rose City Ambassador program is a new volunteer program aimed at giving high school students the opportunity to earn community volunteer hours. The program is open to all high school students residing in Smith County who enjoy working with people and are academically eligible.
The 2022 Rose City Ambassadors from Tyler ISD are:
Early College High School
Avery Henderson
Tyler Legacy High
Alexander Bergfeld
Reese Cooper
Noah Kimmel
Namarie Perez
Carter Wells
Students will earn community service hours, which can be counted on their college applications or for high school requirements as well as earn badges for events and hours worked throughout the year.
“We found there was a need in the community to offer volunteer opportunities to students throughout the year,” Susan Travis, Visit Tyler Vice President of Tourism, said. “The new, revamped program will be open to more students and give students more chances to serve the community and earn their service hours.”
The inaugural class of Rose City Ambassadors will greet visitors throughout the Azalea & Spring Flower Trail March 25-April 10, 2022, as their first act of service. Be the first to meet them at the Azalea & Spring Flower Trail Ribbon Cutting held March 25 at 10am at the Pyron Home located at 212 W Dobbs St.
