You don’t need to be an Ambassador for Children to take action with us. Make your voice heard through our ongoing campaigns listed below.

What exactly does an Ambassador for Children do?  

First Focus Ambassadors for Children are committed advocates who contact their representatives and organize others around federal policy issues affecting children. 

As an Ambassador for Children, you will be the first to receive First Focus policy briefings and action alerts. You will also have access to our Ambassadors-only newsletter and training resources to help grow your understanding of the federal policymaking process and issue-specific priorities. 

Ambassadors for Children also attend quarterly meetings to learn from Hill staffers and policy experts. You will receive opportunities to take actions like calling or emailing your representative, sharing info on social media, writing letters to the editor, or attending town hall meetings. 

Do I need to be a policy or advocacy professional to participate?

You do not need to be a policy professional to become an Ambassador for Children. We welcome parents, educators, and any community members who want to make a difference for kids.

Does it matter where I live?

Ambassadors for Children can be based anywhere in the U.S. As an Ambassador for Children, your audience is the people who are elected to represent you at the federal level: your House representative and your Senators. We’ll connect you with their contact information and update you on how they vote.
