What does a Tiger Ambassador do?

A Tiger Ambassador is a leader who is determined to change the world one little step at a time. Lately, us Tiger Ambassadors came together and planned out our presentations for our current  6th graders. We have been working on  games about Teen Safety Driving and further our research about the dangers of driving in an irresponsible way and the benefits of avoiding distractions while driving. We are hoping to get to present to more and more  future teens, young adults, and even adults in general because as long as you drive, you need to watch out for whatever gets in your way and avoid all distractions.
