Sylvan Learning Event Ambassador

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!

 Share general information about Sylvan Learning and the programs we offer

 Encourage families to learn more about Sylvan and collect names and contact

information from interested parents

 Help with simple event setup, activities, giveaways, and cleanup

 Represent Sylvan in a positive and professional way

We're Looking for Someone Who...

 Is outgoing, upbeat, friendly, and energetic

 Has a warm, welcoming smile and enjoys meeting new people

 Is comfortable approaching and talking with parents and students

 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

hours. Most events take place during evenings and weekends.

Pay

$15–$17 per hour, based on experience, plus incentive opportunities for generating qualified

family leads.

No Sylvan experience necessary! We provide training, talking points, event materials,

giveaways, and everything you need to confidently represent Sylvan.

Perfect for Someone Who...

Wants a fun, flexible side job where you aren't stuck behind a desk. If you love people, enjoy

community events, and want real-world marketing and customer engagement experience, we'd

love to meet you!

At Sylvan, we’re focused on building academic confidence, igniting intellectual curiosity and inspiring a love for learning — all of which make a big impact in school and in life. For 40 years, we’ve helped millions of students achieve new levels of academic success.
