The KU-SDG Ambassador Program is a co-curricular program which aims to build upon KU’s membership into the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network and introduce the UN-SDGs to our students; equipping them with the knowledge to contribute towards giving back to the community . This program will include a series of workshops on the topics of Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Leadership with a focus on sustainability. The workshop series will be divided into five units: An introductory session, three themed units based on the 17 goals, and a closing session.

Introductory sessions are open to all students, and students who register for the workshop series must commit to the end. Student who successfully complete the program are recognized with a certificate.
