Negotiation Ambassadors Program

A community where select former participants discuss their negotiation successes and challenges and help shape future negotiation courses.

We offer an Ambassadors program for former class participants that provides opportunities for ongoing training, community-building, and outreach.

The Ambassadors meet as a group approximately every eight weeks, where they share personal negotiation successes and challenges, assist with developing class scenarios, and engage in community outreach activities. The Ambassadors have published several newsletters with their own negotiation stories, successes, and tips, which you can read here. 

Their current outreach efforts focus on providing conflict resolution training for youth. Reflecting our organization’s commitment to promoting participants’ financial well-being and workplace readiness, we provide the Ambassadors with professional development and leadership opportunities and small stipends for their participation and engagement in this program.

Exciting Ambassadors Program with Life Pieces to Masterpieces

In 2025, we guided the Ambassadors in a project that met their goals to share their knowledge about conflict resolution with young people in the community. With the assistance of a high school educator, we provided training for the Ambassadors to help them learn facilitation skills. At the same time, we began seeking potential partners for an Ambassador-led youth program and, together with the Ambassadors, developed a multi-activity youth-focused negotiation skills workshop. In April 2025, a group of Ambassadors had the privilege of delivering this negotiation training workshop to a group of high school boys taking part in Life Pieces to Masterpieces, a comprehensive out-of-school character and leadership program for Black and Brown boys. The workshop was a huge success. The high schoolers said that they gained listening and communication skills from the workshop, and the Ambassadors reported increasing their leadership skills and professional experience in curriculum development and workshop facilitation.
