Building Emotionally
Resilient Youth

Imagine your students becoming emotionally resilient: setting and accomplishing their goals and dreams, learning how to forgive and overcome their negative experiences, not blaming and shaming others when things don’t go their way, while at the same time challenging others to do the same.

Why Ambassadors?

Trauma, in all its forms, is the most significant problem facing our school system and students. Expressed as unresolved hurt and pain, trauma impedes students’ ability to perform to their optimal capabilities and often leads to destructive behaviors. Recent studies show that the COVID pandemic has exacerbated the situation. The tragedy is the loss of unrealized human potential that will never benefit our families, society, or the world.

The Antidote is Emotional Resilience

Emotional Control

Emotional Resilience is the ability to recognize and release unresolved hurt and pain, understand and manage emotions, and turn negative circumstances into motivation for positive action. It is learned behavior that can be improved with practice.

A Safe Place

Ambassadors of Compassion programs provide a safe space for students to address their real-life issues in a positive way. Fostering self-awareness, purpose, connection, and hope that effectively minimizes the emotional obstacles that deter a healthy, productive life.

Backed By Science

Independent research validates that our evidence-based programs improve grades and attendance, as well as reduce anger, distraction, disciplinary actions, and self-harm; ultimately allowing students to take responsibility for their own learning process and lives.

What Is The Ambassadors Journey?

Our Learning Model

The Ambassadors Emotional Resilience Learning Model includes hands-on learning, interacting with peers with empathy and accountability, and putting into practice concepts, principles, and insights which help students overcome emotional obstacles. It helps students find their voice and provides a safe space to uncover and process their real-life issues. The confidence gained during the program also shapes students’ character and helps them be a positive influence on others in their school and community.

Life Training Event

The Ambassadors of Compassion program starts with Advanced LIFE Training event. This highly energized 2-hour assembly introduces students to the Ambassadors content and process. It gets them emotionally connected to the program, their coaches, and each other.

Group Sessions

The Ambassadors of Compassion program revolves around small group discussions where students have the opportunity to personally examine and practice life-ready principles with their peers. Led by an Ambassador Coach, these groups meet once a week to view the session video and discuss the questions in the Ambassadors Coach Session Guide.

Online Sessions

Our online journal walks students through introspective questions and weekly calls-to-action specifically designed to help them discover who they are, identify and release obstacles holding them back, and take responsibility for their own lives. Challenging them to start taking the actual steps necessary to achieve their goals and dreams, and to be accountable for their own outcomes.
