Are you concerned with violations of students’ rights, underfunding, systemic racism, and harsh disciplinary practices in Delaware public schools? Are you interested in becoming a trained advocate for a safe, equitable, and proficient education for all Delaware students? Become an Education Equity Ambassador!

The Education Equity Ambassador program recruits, trains, and empowers Delaware parents and guardians to advocate for our schools and children and enable them with the skills to make changes for the better.

Education Equity Ambassadors (EEAs) complete paid training over the course of six sessions to better understand and navigate avenues for change, and to grow the skills necessary to become community advocates on education equity issues such as budget equity, restorative justice, inclusion, and health and safety and more.

EEAs continue their work by advocating for legislation, policies, and initiatives to create stronger public school systems statewide.
