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. By actively attending in-person meetings, program visits, phone calls, emails, and social media, ambassadors are able to build strong relationships with our federal, state, and local elected officials. Each year, MASN’s policy committee chooses 5-10 new applicants and provides the selected applicants with training, peer networking opportunities, and mentorship.
