Ambassador Series

The Ambassador series is an opportunity to receive a comprehensive overview of each of the foundational principles of the Charting the LifeCourse Framework and its accompanying decision-making and planning tools.

What is the Ambassador Series?

Becoming an Ambassador connects you to the LifeCourse Nexus Network. Individuals can become an Ambassador by completing a series for Open Enrollment or by completing a series hosted by their organization. Click here to register for an upcoming CtLC Ambassador Series Event.

All Charting the LifeCourse Ambassador series are designed to include training, professional development, and implementation coaching to:

- Provide foundational understanding of the key principles of the framework
- Introduce the application of the principles for a specific focus area and/or practice
- Share examples of how CtLC is being used around the country
By completing the Charting the LifeCourse Ambassadors series, participants will:
- Enhance and broaden your understanding of each of the principles of the CtLC Framework
- Build your confidence and capacity to champion the CtLC Framework with a variety of stakeholders and audiences.
- Identify and practice using the CtLC framework and tools specific to the functions of your role/position
- Build confidence and competence to integrate the CtLC framework into the practices/functions of your role on an ongoing basis
- Support others in similar roles/positions in using the CtLC framework and tools
Organizations who choose to host a CtLC Ambassador Series will also have the opportunity to:
- Enhance existing or develop new practices, processes, or policies integrating the CtLC framework and methodology
- Identify strategic implementation strategies to support all team members to the CtLC framework and its integration throughout the project, program, or organization as a whole
- Plan for scaling and sustaining the use of CtLC to enhance person-and family-centered policies, practices, and procedures

The Ambassador series combines self-paced learning and regular coaching support through a virtual learning experience. Each series includes:

- - A “Kick Off” Coaching Call
  - Five (5) online videos, learning activities, and interactive coaching calls
  - Learn about the principle by watching an online video
  - Practice applying the principle and using the related tools by downloading, completing, and submitting the Learning Activity
  - Share your learning through dialogue and feedback from coaches and peers during the Coaching Call
  - A Wrap Up, Reflections, and Next Steps Coaching Call

There are specific types of Ambassador series that are tailored for a particular purpose and target audience. The type of series that is chosen by an individual or an organization will determine how the coaching calls are structured in order to ensure both capacity building and implementation support that is responsive to the role of the learners and goals for the series.

Upon completion of the course and fulfilling course requirements, registered learners will receive a personalized certificate of completion. Course requirements include:

- Submitting all learning activities
- Completing the pre-/post learning surveys,
- Attending all coaching calls
