The Sphere Education Initiatives Educator Ambassador Program brings together experienced educators and leaders from our alumni network across the country who share our mission of advancing the principles and values of a civil society and strengthening the foundations of our democracy.

The inaugural cohort of ambassadors reflects the passion and enthusiasm of our Sphere alumni network with a firm commitment to our mission of reducing polarization through civil discourse and engaging today’s students in complex conversations about our most pressing issues and content.

Ways Ambassadors Contribute

Our Sphere Ambassadors have opportunities to serve as advocates for advancing Sphere’s overall mission by supporting us in expanding our network of talented educators and leaders.

  • Identify and connect educators and leaders to Sphere’s content, resources, and programming
  • Connecting Sphere with schools and districts to create new professional development opportunities
  • Join and support the Sphere team in facilitating and building sessions on the road at conference and professional development special events
  • Assist in leading virtual program professional development events

The 2025 Sphere educator ambassadors will serve in this role from September 1, 2025, to May 1, 2026. During their tenure, they will perform various functions that will assist our initiative in scale, both in breadth and depth. Ambassadors will create a meaningful extension of Sphere’s capabilities in order to reach a wider national audience, thus increasing public awareness of Sphere’s resources and programming and also increasing the number of educators furthering the cause of civic education across disciplines.

Sphere educator ambassadors will have the opportunity to bring their individual talents to bear in unique ways to increase the network of teachers and educational leaders who have the capacity to connect with Sphere, spread our mission, and bring Sphere programming to their communities.
