Our Programs

The Ambassadors

The Ambassadors have been in existence for 15+ years.  This is a unique program because the ambassadors are seniors who are selected from the Mobile County Public School System, private, and parochial schools. Chosen based on their desire to help younger peers and their strong moral character, they are trained to teach bullying skills in grades three through eight.
