If we are a sophmore about to be a junior, does that make us eligible for the program?

I am a current ambassador and you will have to talk to the employer for that. She might let you be her personal intern like the other sophomores

You are not eligible to participate in the program if you are an upcoming junior. Only kids who will be seniors the next school year and kids who have already graduated are eligible. One more year to go, Laura!
