We're Hiring!Connected Learning is looking to hire at least 2 people to lead our ambassador program! Hire means we're paying you to do this gig :-). Don't get excited, it's not much, but it's not nothing!
So here is the opportunity I want to provide you: LEAD Ambassador. By joining the Ambassador Program as a LEAD Ambassador, you represent, promote, and champion the mission and vision of CL. Not only are you the link between CL and all the other ambassadors, you're a link to multiple districts; you are also part of a community of the best and brightest educators in the area. If you’re interested in this opportunity, see the details below and apply. If you know someone else who might be interested, shoot it their way.
What is a Connected Learning Ambassador?
Simply stated, Ambassadors are volunteers who are willing to connect our organization with theirs. This role would lead this group of amazing humans.
We ask Ambassadors to meet four times a year to connect. We share ideas and issues that are important in our organizations. We also want to hear about great opportunities you’ve had, struggles others are facing, and who you think more people should know.
Two Way Communication
Our organization includes a connected network of over 3,000 educators. To better amplify and promote our events, we ask Ambassadors to share details about Connected Learning events within their organizations.
Fellowship and Fun
Education is hard. We meet in person to have fun, engage with like-minded people, and have fun while doing so. Everything works better when we enjoy what we do.
Volunteer When You Can
Attendees are always impressed with the amount of energy, professionalism, and competence of our team and appreciate the fun, welcoming atmosphere during our events. The success of our events is directly tied to the volunteerism of our Ambassador program. Ambassadors attend our events as their schedules allow, smile, and interact with attendees helping to build and strengthen relationships.
Thank you for your interest in taking a step to be more involved with Connected Learning. If you have any questions or want to connect, I’d love to hear from you.
