CommUNITY Ambassadors

Strengthening our community and building a better future for our youth
by providing transformational and inspiring real-life learning opportunities
designed to reconnect, educate, and engage area students
with our own community  and the 
people places, and projects
that make our home special while supporting our next generations
in becoming advocates, leaders, and spokespersons.

This locally-driven program is designed to connect students with their own communities. Facilitated by professional educators, community leaders, and local wisdom-keepers, including our Community Educators and Learning Liasons, the project introduces students to the people, places and projects that make our home special a​nd supports the next generations of community leaders. Students are prepared to serve as Youth Ambassadors with valuable training in communication, research, presentation, and leadership development.
