Miami International Airportâs Volunteer Ambassador Program is the anchor of MIAâs customer service. The programâs intent is to make passengers feel at home, making sure their journey is âsunâ-sational. Our 81 volunteers range from ages 18-85, hail from over 22 countries, speak 18 languages and include former educators, military veterans, engineers, nurses and airline employees. Collectively, the volunteers have donated nearly 15,000 hours of service to travelers at information counters and driving free trolley service at MIA. Their passion and energy to help passengers through their travel journey and to provide assistance, gives back to our community and makes our volunteers one-of-a-kind. The ambassadorâs bright blue shirts and warm smiles reflect MIAâs commitment to world-class customer service.
