Student ambassadors are required to have a general understanding of the NCC programs in order to present information to the stakeholders: students, parents, teachers, administrators, and the business community. Ambassadors represent NCC while attending their home schools, community events, and at NCC. When giving presentations, ambassadors are expected to dress in khaki pants and wear approved NCC logo apparel. T-shirts and jeans are not allowed. NCC will purchase logo apparel and, if needed, khaki pants.
