• To create an annual cycle of ambassadors that understand the interrelationships among school programs, how the Mt. Vernon district functions/operates, and as a result, become knowledgeable advocates in the community for MVCSC. 
• To have attendees be highly engaged in the Ambassadors program and experience a fulfilling use of their valuable time.
• To have attendees help in recruiting the following year’s Ambassadors cohort.
