We’re excited to share our Family Ambassador Directory!

Families can easily find out who their school’s Family Ambassador is, connect with them and sign up for updates about events, programs and helpful resources. In the absence of a designated Family Ambassador at your school, families are encouraged to contact the Lead Family Ambassador serving their attendance area.

  • Stay Connected With Your Family Ambassador

The Family Ambassador Program is proudly entering its fifth year of strengthening connections between CCS families, schools and the district. Over the past five years, Family Ambassadors have helped families stay informed, access helpful resources and learn about opportunities to become more engaged in their school communities.

As we celebrate this milestone, we look forward to another year of connecting families, building relationships and strengthening family-school partnerships across Cumberland County Schools.

CCS Family Ambassadors:

• Take part in district-level training and monthly meetings

• Share family-friendly information with others in your community

• Work with other ambassadors in your attendance area to support district initiatives

• Explore creative, community-based ways to engage families beyond the school walls

Family Ambassadors are trained to listen, guide and connect families with the right CCS staff or resources. When questions or concerns arise that require extra support, they will know how to escalate them to the Communications and Community Engagement team.

Family Ambassadors must:

• Be a registered CCS volunteer or be willing to sign up
