The Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) Student Leadership Academy (SLA) is an awesome kick-off event to learn more about the foundation and how you can help kids with cancer while learning how to be a better student leader. ALSF is looking for a special group of students who will serve in the prestigious role of an ALSF Student Ambassador.  In this role, you can expect the following:
