Ambassador training is an exemplary leadership development program for adult education students, staff, and administrators that creates networks of diverse learners who use their voices, stories, and skills for advocacy and social change. Student engagement and leadership development help learners expand their identities and horizons, define themselves by their strengths instead of deficiencies, and persist toward achieving their academic and career goals. The authors examined ambassador training through an asset-based lens of their own experiences and provided the resulting recommendations to the field in state and national panel presentations. This article provides highlights and excerpts of the collective wisdom from that process.
