Make a Difference: Become a Family Ambassador for CCS!
Cumberland County Schools (CCS) is relaunching its Family Ambassador Program with a bold new structure and enhanced district-level support. We’re looking for trusted and enthusiastic community members to serve as connectors between families, schools and the district.
This is more than just a volunteer opportunity. It’s a chance to serve, to lead and to support student success—because when families are engaged, students thrive.
What Does a Family Ambassador Do?
As a Family Ambassador, you will:
Take part in district-level training and monthly meetings
Share family-friendly information with others in your community
Work with other ambassadors in your attendance area to support district initiatives
Receive a Gmail account for communicating with families and be listed in the district’s public directory
Explore creative, community-based ways to engage families beyond the school walls
You may also be asked to support school-level events with the principal’s approval. But your primary role is to bring timely information out into the community. That could include:
Facebook Live sessions
Community center or church meetups
Neighborhood outreach
Attendance area team meetings
One-on-one communication with families who reach out for help
You won’t need to have all the answers. You’ll be trained to listen, guide and connect families with the right CCS staff or resources. When questions or concerns arise that require extra support, you’ll know how to escalate them to the Communications and Community Engagement team.
