ASU Family Ambassador Council

The ASU Family Ambassador Council is a group of dedicated local, regional, and worldwide parents and family members who are focused on student success and family involvement. Council participants provide volunteer and/or financial resources to promote a vibrant university community for ASU students and their families. Volunteer time is flexible, and financial support is not a requirement for council membership. Gifts of time, talent and/or treasure are deeply appreciated and make a difference for students and our Sun Devil family community.
