Ambassadors Program
A one-year program for Alumni Fellows to bridge community context with policymaking, providing technical assistance to local and national government agencies and connecting policy to implementation across the education system.
Where national reforms meet classroom realities
Education reforms move faster and hold better when policy and implementation stay connected to what school communities experience daily. Ambassadors help link legislation, policy, and implementation across institutions, connecting offices and agencies so coordination is clearer and execution is stronger.
From Fellowship learning to systems-level execution
After the Fellowship, Alumni can contribute in roles that translate evidence into action inside public institutions. In practice, this includes supporting program design and delivery, strengthening monitoring and evaluation, managing partnerships, and shaping communications so reforms can be carried through at scale while staying grounded in classroom-informed practice.
