Ambassadors Program

CADCA’s Institute designed the Ambassador Program to address a transparent need for young adult prevention workforce leaders in economically challenged communities. The Institute provides each member of the program with training at its globally recognized National Coalition Academy, the annual Mid-Year Training Institute, and CADCA’s annual high visibility National Leadership Forum. Student-focused Webinars and other relevant activities complement our formal training to provide the Ambassador with well-rounded and practical experience that equips them with serving their communities better.

Ambassadors are typically between the ages of 18 – 30, are actively involved in a substance abuse prevention community coalition, reside or work in an economically disadvantaged community, and are interested in pursuing the community coalition field as a career path. The Institute issues a call for applications through CADCA print and electronic mediums, and conducts an often-intentional recruitment and outreach to insure inclusion and balanced representation of our nation’s community coalitions.
