Parent Ambassador Application 2024 |
We are seeking 25-30 parents to serve as Parent Ambassadors for 2024. Parent Ambassadors will participate on the front line of our advocacy work including learning, using our voice partnering with you community, legislative activities and more. Expenses for traveling to conferences and training venues will be covered. We are looking for parents that are committed to advocating for their children, families and communities. You only need a desire to learn and be committed to complete the year-long project. The 2009 - 2023 Parent Ambassadors have had great success, built long lasting relationships and have had fun every year, and we look forward to another awesome year with the 2024 cohort!
What is the Parent Ambassador program?
The Parent Ambassadors Program is a peer-to-peer training program for parents. Parent Ambassadors will go through a yearlong high-quality advocacy training program. The Parent Ambassador program provides child care and mileage stipends to help support participation. Please be aware that at most of our face-to-face conferences, rooms are shared; this fosters networking among the Ambassadors and helps with our limited budget. (*We follow all health departments and state protocols, and decisions about in person meetings will be made on a rolling basis as needed.)

Estamos buscando entre 25 y 30 padres para que sirvan como Padres Embajadores para nuestro programa de capacitación en defensa entre pares de un año de duración. Los Padres Embajadores participarán en la primera línea de nuestro trabajo de defensa, incluido el aprendizaje, el uso de nuestra voz, la asociación con su comunidad, actividades legislativas y más. Se cubrirán los gastos de desplazamiento a congresos. Buscamos padres que estén comprometidos a defender a sus hijos, familias y comunidades. Los Padres Embajadores de 2009 a 2023 han tenido un gran éxito, construyeron relaciones duraderas y se divirtieron cada año, ¡y esperamos otro año increíble con la cohorte de 2024!
El programa de Padres Embajadores ofrece cuidado infantil y estipendios de millas para ayudar a apoyar la participación. Tenga en cuenta que en la mayoría de nuestras conferencias presenciales las salas son compartidas; esto fomenta la creación de redes y ayuda con nuestro presupuesto limitado.
NO brindamos cuidado infantil en el lugar en ninguna de nuestras capacitaciones o eventos. Es su responsabilidad reclutar y/o asegurar cuidado infantil para cada capacitación/reunión cara a cara. Los bebés lactantes que no se mueven son bienvenidos.
