Ambassadors play a key role in “getting the word out” about the benefits of primary source-based instruction to the educational community and beyond.

Ambassadors for Learning are leadership opportunities to serve as experts and mentors to perpetuate the use of LOC.gov digital resources in the local community and beyond. Ambassadors participate in a network and professional development to further their own expertise and knowledge with using LOC.gov resource and Best Instructional Practices.
