For Families Parent Engagement Parent Ambassadors
Welcome to the LAUP Parent Ambassador program page!
The LAUP Parent Ambassador program is where you will learn the power of your voice, connect with parents who share your passion for advocacy and education and where you will have the chance to travel to Sacramento and/or Washington D.C. to meet elected officials.
What is the LAUP Parent Ambassador Program?
The LAUP Parent Ambassador Program provides parents with the opportunity to speak up for the needs of their children and their community. Through this program, Parent Ambassadors receive the training, tools and materials they need to advocate for their child and on behalf of all children who do not have access to a high-quality preschool program. LAUP Parent Ambassadors participate in hands-on workshops that include exciting topics such as:
Preschool Parent Advocacy 101
Who are the Decision Makers in my community?
Making my voice heard: What to say, when to say it
Speaking Up and Letter Writing for change
What to expect when meeting my legislator
Becoming an effective spokesperson for Preschool
Why should I join?
Because there is no one else in the world who can speak up on behalf of your child like you can and there is no one who better understands the importance of making high-quality preschool something that all children should have access to.

LAUP Parent Ambassadors have this to say about their experience:
"The workshop are filled with so much great information, I look forward to the next session each and every time! They are also so much FUN not to mention the network of friends that I have met who care as much about their child's education as I do." -Dascha, Parent Ambassador
"I love being a Parent Ambassador...I've been spreading the news and telling everyone I know about LAUP...I've learned a lot from attending the workshops, like writing letters and engaging your elected officials and we have a say. That has been very important. -Tene - Parent Ambassador
