It is important to us that prospective families and the general community hear about current families' experiences in VUSD.
A “Family Ambassador” is a parent, guardian, aunt, uncle, grandparent, etc., of a Ventura Unified School District (VUSD) student who actively works to support their child’s school and positively promotes VUSD programs, services, events, and activities to Ventura families and community members.
The VUSD Family Ambassador Program seeks VUSD current family members who are interested in stepping up for their community. The program provides these volunteers with an exciting opportunity to develop leadership and advocacy skills while supporting parent and family engagement and the academic success of VUSD students.
Family Outreach Ambassador Duties- Assist at outreach events, answers questions, hands out giveaways, helps with directions, etc. If you are interested in volunteering for this, please fill out our Family Outreach Ambassador Application. We look at these applications monthly and reach out for interviews as needed.
These ambassadors would be called upon to work outreach events as they come up. Each event shift is between 2 and 6 hours. We will also be offering two trainings a year to provide you with information that you will find helpful. One event we will need a lot of assistance with is our upcoming VUSD Information Night which will occur in November 2023.
Requirements:
- Must have at least one child currently attending VUSD schools during the regular school year.
- Be willing to attend one training a year.
- Be willing to work at least two events a year (usually in evening or on weekends).
If interested, please fill out the Family Outreach Ambassador Application below.
