For the last several years, a team of committed and passionate District Staff, Parents, and Community Members have served as members of our District-wide Ambassador Program. In this role, these individuals are trained to serve as representatives at local and city-wide events, gatherings, and faith-based sites to share the good news of DPSCD.  

How Does it Work?  

The Ambassador Program runs from June to October. Ambassadors start by receiving a 1-hour training to learn about key District topics – like how to enroll and DPS/DPSCD history. That’s where we post weekly opportunities to volunteer at community and outreach events including:  

• Back to School Events 
• Community Events   
• Health-focused Events and more!

We provide you with everything you need – tablecloth, enrollment materials, flyers, fun giveaways, and site contacts. Our ask of you is that you engage with attendees at your event, answer questions as best you can, and submit feedback on your experience!   

We know incredible things are happening in our District and the most powerful way to lift this narrative is through telling our own story. District Ambassadors are at the core of this work!  

The Ambassador program ends each year with a special ceremony in October to honor all Ambassadors and the work they’ve done with special awards.
