Student Ambassadors
The Crime Stoppers Ambassador Program is a student based leadership program for Texas youth involved in their Crime Stoppers community across the state.
The Ambassador Program consists of 12 students, and one alternate, who are carefully chosen and tasked with setting leadership standards of excellence among their peer groups, acting as role models on their campuses and in their communities, and are also required to complete a series of projects over the course of a calendar year.
Mission Statement
To encourage and support positive relationships between Campus Crime Stoppers and Texas communities and inspire lasting changes within individuals through our leadership and unity.
Objective
The primary objective of the Crime Stoppers Ambassador Program is to shape young leaders in the Texas Crime Stoppers community. The aim of the program is to establish a network of informed and influential students throughout Texas who can actively represent Crime Stoppers while building a proficient skill set and gaining leadership experience.
Ambassadors are selected to represent their peers all over the state, and serve as the youth voice for Crime Stoppers in Texas. Ambassadors are expected to exhibit a high degree of maturity, responsibility, flexibility, and leadership at all times.
2022 Community Engagement Project
This year, student ambassadors have been tasked with a community project to collect donations for Blue Santa or Brown Santa. The ambassadors can then create a Public Service Announcement (PSA) about their program and giving back or they can get their program to volunteer and/or participate in a parade. They will present on project at the 27th Annual Texas Crime Stoppers Campus Conference.
Crime Stoppers Monthly Newsletter Article
Each student ambassador has been assigned a month to submit an article to be featured on the Texas Crime Stoppers newsletter. The topics may include, but are not limited to, campus program success stories, an interview with their Student Resource Officer or a board member, community engagement, editorials on leadership, mentoring, or student motivation.
