Youth Ambassador & Scholarship Program

The Youth Ambassador Program is the backbone of our community outreach, and the gateway to our scholarship. We've trained 22 student leaders across the country who champion stroke awareness in their schools and communities, spreading the BEFAST message peer to peer.

Each year, two outstanding ambassadors are selected to receive a $25,000 educational stipend in recognition of their exceptional impact and dedication to the mission.
