Opportunity for counselors and others to contribute to national education dialogue

By Catherine Mueller

School counselors are among the education professionals invited to apply for the U.S. Department of Education’s 2025-26 School Ambassador Fellowship program.

According to information about the program posted on the Department of Education’s website, “The School Ambassador Fellowship is a professional learning community designed to improve educational outcomes for students by leveraging the expertise of school-based practitioners in the creation, evaluation, and dissemination of information around national education initiatives.”

Applicants may choose to apply as full-time fellows — take a leave of absence from their local districts and support the Department’s efforts remotely on a daily basis — or as part-time fellows — continue serving in their local districts while working with the agency up to 10 hours a week.

The deadline to apply for the program is Monday, January 13, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. EST.
