APPLY NOW TO BE AN AMBASSADOR JUNE 17 – JULY 1!

Selected applicants will be notified the week of July 21.


ABOUT THE AMBASSADOR PROGRAM

The NASSP Ambassador Program supports our mission to develop and empower courageous school and student leaders. Our goal is to help Ambassadors reach their full potential by offering meaningful support, opportunities, and guidance. 

Launched in 2022, the program has engaged principals, advisers, and students in key projects that elevate leadership voices and shape NASSP’s work. Ambassadors have contributed to national surveys, policy forums, recognition programs, professional learning, and resource development. 

Since then, we’ve continued to grow the program, using Ambassador feedback to improve our services, resources, and events for NASSP members everywhere. 


How to Apply

The application period for the new cycle of the Ambassador Program will open for two groups on June 17, 2025. It will close on July 1. These groups will meet the entire academic year unless otherwise noted.

The other groups (NHS and NJHS Adviser Support Ambassadors and NASC New Advisers Ambassadors) will launch their application period in August 2025.

Each Ambassador who completes the program according to the requirements of their group will receive a stipend by the end of May 2026.

All applicants to any Ambassador groups must be school leaders, advisers, and student leaders who are members of NASSP, National Honor Society, National Junior Honor Society, and National Association of Student Councils.

FOR SCHOOL LEADERS

These 12 school leader Ambassadors (assistant principals and principals) will contribute powerful video testimonials and inspiring stories that highlight the challenges, triumphs, and everyday realities faced by school leaders and educators. Through these narratives, they will raise awareness of current education issues, celebrate successes, and motivate others working in education. Together, these Ambassadors will inspire, inform, and connect educators nationwide. 

Ambassadors must be current school leaders in school buildings (assistant principals, associate principals, deans, heads of school, and executive principals). They will be required to participate in online meetings or discussions and create video content for NASSP social media platforms. 

FOR STUDENTS

These 12 Ambassadors will showcase the incredible work of NHS and NASC members through user-generated content strategically featured on our social media channels. By leveraging their existing skills and creativity, the group will produce authentic content that highlights schools and student leaders. This group will also inform the development of future video content, ensuring our social media presence remains engaging, relevant, and inspiring. These Ambassadors must be NHS or NASC students in an active chapter or council in good standing. 


Applications open August 2025

FOR ADVISERS

These 12 NASC advisers will collaborate to develop tailored resources, practical tools, and professional development opportunities for new advisers to thrive in their roles and enhance the student leadership program. These Ambassadors will be expected to attend scheduled Zoom meetings, contribute to group discussions, and complete pre-work and post-work assigned by their group leader. 

These 12 NHS and NJHS advisers will provide valuable input on the greatest needs and challenges faced by advisers, helping to shape relevant resources and content. As Ambassadors, they will contribute ideas, assist in the creation of practical tools, and collaborate to deliver meaningful support for advisers. Their expertise will ensure that advisers are equipped to succeed. Monthly Zoom meetings at 7 p.m. ET from November to April are required, as well as some pre-work and post-work as assigned.
