Teacher Ambassadors

Teacher ambassadors are veteran teacher participants who share, promote, and recruit for our seminars and workshops. Learn more about our dedicated volunteer ambassadors!

What our ambassadors do

Our Teacher Ambassadors consist of committed, passionate, exemplary educators who have attended a Founding Forward program. Ambassadors promote Founding Forward and the value of civic education to their peers, schools, and communities, and they recruit fellow educators to participate in our teacher programs.

Ambassadors serve a two year commitment, including quarterly virtual meetings to share insights and information on upcoming programs, conferences, and other professional development topics. Ambassadors will have the opportunity to lead breakout sessions during our summer programs. They also regularly represent Founding Forward at social studies conferences across the nation. Additionally, they may lead professional development opportunities in their local area.

Interested in becoming an ambassador?

We ask our ambassadors to be positive supporters of Founding Forward in their schools, communities, and conferences. Their primary goal is to recruit new teachers to our seminars and workshops.

Ambassadors serve a two year commitment and meet quarterly through Zoom to share insights and information on upcoming programs, conferences, and other professional development topics.

Please direct questions to Paul Hamilton, Director of Outreach, at [email protected].
