Our award-winning International Student Leadership and Ambassador (ISLA) program aims to build Sydney's reputation as a preferred destination to study.

The program offers free training, work-integrated learning, and volunteering opportunities to enhance international student leadership skills and experience, which is transferable to future careers. Participants also have an opportunity to make new friends, build a local support network, and develop a sense of belonging while getting involved in local events and activities.

The ambassadors also participate in international education-related forums to inform policy, research, and service development that impact their communities. During the 12-month program, ambassadors are mentored and supported by the City of Sydney to develop and implement projects to address the needs of international student communities. These include networking events, leadership conferences, employment panels, and sports events.
