Join Our Team: Become a 2025 Lounge Ambassador!

Are you an international student or recent graduate looking to make a meaningful impact in your community? Applications are now open for the 2025 Lounge Ambassador Program—an incredible opportunity to grow professionally, develop leadership skills, and help make The Lounge a welcoming hub for international students in Geelong.


This is your chance to grow both personally and professionally while supporting other international students.


As a Lounge Ambassador, you’ll play a key role in supporting international students by promoting our services, helping plan events, and representing The Lounge at community activities. Along the way, you’ll gain valuable professional development training, enhance your CV, and build friendships with like-minded peers.

Our ambassadors aren’t just part of the program; they help shape it. You’ll rotate through different teams—social media, event planning, and special projects—ensuring your experience is both diverse and rewarding. Whether you’re helping organize a cultural festival or spreading awareness through creative posts, every day will bring a new opportunity to make a difference!

Our past ambassadors have loved the ability to rotate through teams, saying it gave them a full picture of how The Lounge supports international students. We’ll be sharing their stories and advice through short videos during the application period, so keep an eye out!

  • Represent The Lounge: Be the face of our international student community at events and initiatives.

  • Support Events: Help plan and deliver events that foster connection and growth.

  • Social Media Advocacy: Share your ambassador journey and promote The Lounge to inspire others.

Our ambassadors have said the friendships and experiences they’ve gained have been some of the most rewarding aspects of the program. Imagine what you can achieve with this support system behind you!
