Our ambassadors

Eva: "I got introduced to School's cool Amsterdam through an interview with Vildan and Youssra in the studio at Fun, and I was immediately enthusiastic. It's so simple! Personal, long-term attention for students who can really use the support. It must work, and it does. It's an honor for me to support this initiative with my ambassadorship."
Yasin: "I find it beautiful that I can be there for the kids in a different way too. I fully support what School's cool, together with volunteer mentors, does for students who can use some extra support."

Junior ambassador

Hello, I am Cynthia. I love dancing, playing basketball, being outdoors, drawing, and creating things like clothing designs the most. Having a mentor from School's cool is quite nice. You can ask your homementor anything. We often start with having a drink and food, and we chat together. If there is homework, we usually begin with that. If there is no homework, we can do something fun. A homementor also asks how you approach things and listens to you. When you go to a new school, it can be a bit nerve-wracking. Your homementor can help you prepare. Your homementor is there for you and assists you so that you can concentrate and study well.
