Get Involved
The Charter Ambassador Program is an opportunity for charter school parents, staff, teachers, and high school students to become trained advocates for Colorado’s charter school movement. Whether you’re new to advocacy or have years of experience, this program offers the tools and support to amplify your voice and grow as a leader in your community.
Ambassadors are trained to speak confidently about the value of charter schools, connect with School Board elected officials, and participate in actions that promote equity, innovation, and educational choice across the state.
Stories & Impact
Through the voices of Charter Ambassadors, we tell the real stories of public charter schools in Colorado, stories of transformation, equity, and opportunity.
Join us in uplifting the charter school story—one advocate at a time.
Annual Program Overview
Each year, the Colorado League of Charter Schools selects a new cohort of Charter Ambassadors who engage in a six-week training and action program. Designed with working families and educators in mind, the sessions are held virtually and offer flexible pathways to participation.
Ambassadors receive:
- Leadership training in advocacy, communications, and policy

- A stipend for participation and completion of deliverables
