Become a Parent Ambassador
An ambassador is the liaison between the San Juan Education Foundation (SJEF) and a SJUSD school. SJEF will rely on its ambassadors to promote a close partnership between the Foundation and parents, educators, students, business and the community.
Ambassadors will inform these groups about the Foundation’s programs and projects in the focus areas of Science, Technology, Arts, andReading (STARS). They will establish a volunteer base for the Foundation at their school, helping SJEF to achieve its goal of providing support for innovative teacher driven-programs.
Ambassadors will help advise the Foundation of the needs within their school relative to programs in the STARS area.
Ambassadors will work with Foundation members and advisors to raise awareness and generate support of the Foundation through donations, volunteer efforts, networking, communication and events.
Ambassadors will work to establish a communication link from the Foundation to their school community through web site updates, emails, and presentations.
Ambassadors should be a board member of their school’s PTA/PTO or an active member of that school community. Please contact SJEF for more information.
