Sylvan Learning Event Ambassador
Part-Time | Flexible Evenings & Weekends | $15–$17/hour + Incentives
Are you the kind of person who can walk into a community event and talk to just about
anyone? Do you have an outgoing personality, welcoming smile, and the energy to make people
feel comfortable?
Sylvan Learning is looking for a fun, energetic Event Ambassador to represent us at family-
friendly events throughout Ames, Ankeny, and surrounding communities.
This is a great opportunity for a college student—especially a marketing, communications,
education, or business major—who wants hands-on experience connecting with families and
representing a well-known brand.
What You'll Do
Represent Sylvan at community events, festivals, school activities, fairs, and other
family-friendly events
Create a fun, welcoming presence at the Sylvan booth or event space
Proactively engage with parents, students, and community members—you can't be afraid
to start a conversation!

information from interested parents

Represent Sylvan in a positive and professional way

Can work independently and take initiative rather than waiting for people to approach
Is dependable and professional
Has reliable transportation to events in Ames, Ankeny, and surrounding communities
Is available primarily evenings and weekends
Schedule
This is a very flexible, event-based position, so hours will vary from week to week. Some
weeks there may be no scheduled hours, while busier weeks may offer up to approximately 12
