BECOME AN AMBASSADOR

The Ambassador Program trains, connects and activates a network of passionate emerging leaders with a common goal: preventing child abuse and neglect by strengthening families and communities.

PCA Georgia’s Ambassador Program engages emerging leaders in a 10-month long cohort to help promote the prevention of child abuse and strengthen families in their communities.  Through educational workshops and hand-on experiences, PCA Georgia Ambassadors will come away with leadership skills to positively impact the lives of children and families across the state.

This program is designed for college students, young professionals, or community members looking to gain knowledge and skills to make a difference.

Program Components

PCA Georgia Ambassadors will come away with leadership skills to positively impact the lives of children and families across the state. In addition to workshops focusing on the primary prevention of child abuse and neglect, participants will learn about the critical role PCA Georgia and other partnering organizations play in prevention, understand more about the structure and fundraising needs of nonprofits, and explore their leadership skills through direct learning experiences.

The proposed program will engage emerging leaders in a 10-month long cohort that includes four components: monthly workshops and networking; fundraising; in-person volunteer experiences; and hosting an awareness event.

Monthly Workshops

Workshops are a mix of topics that are designed to develop leadership skills as well as educate participants to advocate for child abuse prevention strategies in their communities. Workshops are typically 90 minutes in the evenings. The majority of sessions will be virtual and a few will be in-person to allow for networking.

Volunteer Experiences

PCA Georgia will provide a list of volunteer opportunities that are both Atlanta based and spread throughout the state that include PCA Georgia’s local councils, the organization’s annual conference, and other partner events. Participants can also get approval for aligning volunteer experiences not listed by PCA Georgia.

Fundraising

Making the ask, reaching out to others, and describing the cause can be difficult for new or seasoned fundraisers.  PCA Georgia will provide a workshop and continued support to help participants raise funds to go toward the next cohort of the Ambassador program. Participants have until the end of the program to meet their individual $500 fundraising goal.

Awareness Event

The Ambassador program will culminate with each participant hosting an in-person or virtual event with community members where the focus is on raising awareness, educating, and engaging in discussions focused on helping families thrive. Participants can be creative in planning their event and PCA Georgia will provide support as needed.

Application
