The Utah Education Association is excited to announce that applications are now open for three member leadership programs: Policy Ambassadors, Equity Ambassadors, and AutoPay Leads. Each program offers unique opportunities for educators to strengthen their leadership skills, advocate for students, and advance public education.
Applications for all programs are due Sept. 30.
Policy Ambassadors
The Policy Ambassador program is designed to magnify the educator's voice in the legislative process. Participants will engage in a series of activities during the 2026 General Session to learn advocacy skills and influence education policy.

Equity Ambassadors
The Equity Ambassadors Program empowers educators to lead systemic change in Utah schools by dismantling structural racism, influencing policy, and closing opportunity gaps. Through professional development, mentorship, and practical tools, participants will build skills to drive equity in education.
