THE MLC STUDENT AMBASSADOR PROGRAM

  • The MLC Student Ambassador program provides college and university students the opportunity to earn the designation “MLC Student Ambassador” through an assessment of their knowledge about The MLC, and commitment to continued dissemination of information about The MLC.
  • MLC Student Ambassadors enjoy a variety of benefits, described below.
  • There is no cost to participate in the program, and there are no geographic requirements or limitations. However, students must be based in the U.S. in order to participate.
  • MLC Student Ambassadors access our exclusive online Student Ambassador "course" on the Moodle learning platform in order to keep track of their activities.
  • MLC Student Ambassadors are not employees or independent contractors of The MLC. There is no compensation paid by The MLC to Student Ambassadors.

PROGRAM ELIGIBILITY

There is no limit to how many we may have from any one school.
  • Proof of enrollment status must be submitted as part of the application.

PROGRAM BENEFITS

  • Students gain invaluable knowledge about The MLC and help songwriters get paid.
  • Students accepted into the program are permitted to use the “MLC Student Ambassador” designation, followed by the academic semester or quarter it is active for (e.g., Fall 2024), on their resume, in their bio, and on their social media profiles.
  • MLC Student Ambassadors are given access to digital and physical assets that can be used to help spread the word about The MLC to potential members.

PROGRAM OBLIGATIONS AND RENEWALS

  • MLC Student Ambassadors must help spread the word about The MLC to songwriters, composers, and lyricists in their local communities, via 3 posts on Instagram per academic period (semester or quarter). 
  • MLC Student Ambassadors are provided with a syllabus for the program and the specific materials they must use in the social media posts.
  • MLC Student Ambassadors are invited to, but not required to, explore the option of putting up posters about The MLC on their campus, where permitted.

PROGRAM TIMELINE

  • The MLC Student Ambassador designation is valid for one academic period (an academic semester or quarter). 
  • For the first academic period, a Student Ambassador is granted the designation based on a knowledge assessment and their commitment to complete the required tasks in the current academic period.
  • For subsequent academic periods, a Student Ambassador is granted a renewal of the designation if they met the requirements in the prior academic period, and commit to continuing in the program.
  • Student Ambassadors will be able to submit a simple online Renewal Application at the start of each academic period.

HOW TO APPLY

  • Applicants are then given 5 days to complete a video assessment of their knowledge regarding the educational material. This is done through our hiring platforms Greenhouse and Spark Hire.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
