MOLINE, ILLINOIS - Do you enjoy Public Television? Do you like to volunteer? Do you like new and exciting experiences? Then consider becoming a WQPT/PBS Ambassador.

WQPT is seeking energetic college students for an exciting volunteer opportunity. Entering its seventh year, the WQPT/PBS Ambassador program is an opportunity for college students to represent public television at a variety of events throughout eastern Iowa and western Illinois. Ambassadors are a more highly trained extension of the WQPT volunteer force representing the station at fairs, community and fundraising events and on television.

Ambassadors have come from Western Illinois University, Black Hawk College, St. Ambrose University, Illinois College, University of Iowa, Illinois State University, Kaplan University and Northern Illinois.

"One of the most rewarding aspects of the Ambassador program is that the Ambassadors keep coming back each year they are in college," said Bea Brasel, WQPT's Special Projects Coordinator. "It isn't just a volunteer opportunity, but a relationship that continues long after the student has graduated."

For more information and an application log on to www.wqpt.org. Application deadline is May 2, 2011. You may also mail applications to WQPT, Quad Cities PBS, Attn:  Ambassador Program, 3800 Avenue of the Cities, Suite 101, Moline, IL  61265. Inquiries can be made at (309) 764-2400.
