Summer Ambassadors
Since 1999, during the summer season, the RCA has selected a team of conscientious, dynamic, and environmentally conscious post-secondary students to execute significant waste reduction initiatives on behalf of our members.



This initiative has served as a gateway for numerous individuals to enter the waste management, recycling, and environmental stewardship industries.
The operational framework of the RCA Summer Ambassador program involves recruiting a talented cohort of students. These students contribute their skills and dedication to support the summer projects of RCA member organizations. This symbiotic arrangement not only exposes students to diverse work experiences but also provides invaluable assistance to our members, sparing them the need for independent summer hiring efforts.
