We love our Afterschool Ambassadors!
The Afterschool Ambassadors program empowers up-and-coming leaders in the field of afterschool to confidently and effectively advocate for afterschool access for all Missouri children. Ambassadors build relationships with federal, state and local elected officials through in-person meetings, program visits, phone calls, emails and social media. MASN’s policy committee chooses 5-10 new applicants annually and provides training, peer networking opportunities and mentorship. Afterschool Ambassadors are the lifeblood of our organization!
Timeline
Ambassadors serve one year terms from August through July. The application is rolling, but applications must be received by April 30 to be considered for the current year’s cohort.
