By applying for the BroncoBOLD High School Ambassador program, I (we) acknowledge that: (1) I (we) have read the BroncoBOLD High School Ambassador Program Application Manual in its entirety (located above in "Step One" of this document), and (2) if selected, the following must be fulfilled during the 2023/24 academic year:

The application to nominate your school must be completed by a currently enrolled student-athlete attending your high school full-time. Applications open at 9:00am MST on April 27, 2023 and close at 5:00pm MST on May 22, 2023.

The application requires each school to list four additional student-athletes (the student-athlete completing the form (you) makes five total) who will serve on your high school’s BroncoBOLD High School Ambassador Leadership Committee.

At least two on-site faculty advisors are required for each school. One MUST be a school counselor, psychologist or social worker at your high school. The second on-site faculty advisor MUST be a current staff member employed at your high school (activities director, teacher, certified athletic trainer, etc.).

The BroncoBOLD High School Ambassador Leadership Committee and at least one of the on-site faculty advisors from each school selected will be required to attend the BroncoBOLD High School Ambassador Leadership Mental Health Summit in late August 2023 (date to be announced in June 2023) to kick-off the BroncoBOLD High School Ambassador Program. The event will be held on Boise State’s campus and mental health education will be delivered to student leaders, along with time spent in collaboration with others to develop each high school’s vision for their own mental health initiative. Although instruction hours will be considered, a portion of the Summit may be held during school hours and may require schools to excuse student-athlete leaders and on-site advisors to attend the training.

Each BroncoBOLD Ambassador High School will have the opportunity to send select staff members to a certification training in Teen Mental Health First Aid (TMHFA) (up to 24 staff members total for each high school over the course of three trainings). TMHFA trainings will be offered on Boise State’s campus in August, November and February (final dates to be announced in June 2023) by Boise State Athletics’ staff members who are certified TMHFA instructors. Each high school will be able to select up to 8 staff members of their choosing (teachers, coaches, administrators, custodial staff, etc.) to attend each training. BroncoBOLD Ambassador High Schools located more than 75 miles from Boise State’s campus can complete the certification virtually. Each training will have a maximum capacity of 32 individuals (eight individuals from each of the four BroncoBOLD Ambassador High schools).

The BroncoBOLD High School Ambassador Leadership Committee must be able to dedicate 1-2 hours/week to growing the movement in your school and community.

Starting in August, and throughout the academic year, the BroncoBOLD High School Ambassador Leadership Committee must hold at least one Leadership Committee meeting per month on your high school’s campus. At least one of the on-site faculty advisors must be present at each meeting. To encourage attendance at these meetings, it is strongly encouraged to have an attendance policy in place for the Leadership Committee members (i.e., one absence allowed during the school year).

The BroncoBOLD High School Ambassador Leadership Committee will lead one fundraising activity per academic year to bring awareness to mental health and raise funds for your high school’s initiative.

The BroncoBOLD High School Ambassador Leadership Committee and at least one of the two on-site advisors, will be required to attend two calls—one in the fall semester and one in the spring semester—to connect with other BroncoBOLD Ambassador high schools around the state.
