Join Oprah’s 'O Ambassadors'

New Education Program Unites Young People from Across the Globe

O Ambassadors™ is a new joint project of Oprah's Angel Network and Free The Children that inspires young people to become active, compassionate, and knowledgeable global citizens.

The school-based program connects young people in North America with people around the world to create lasting change by working toward the United Nations Millennium Development Goals. Participants address problems such as hunger, poverty, and limited access to education.

Educators are invited to apply to form an O Ambassadors Club at their school, either as part of classroom instruction or as a school-based extracurricular opportunity for students.

Educators who are selected will lead their student clubs in activities that support development initiatives in one of five featured world regions (West Africa, East Africa, South Asia, East Asia, Latin America) by raising funds for development projects and increasing awareness of global issues at their school. Clubs will:

• Run for the duration of the 2007/2008 school year
• explore four Millennium Development Goal themes:
  • poverty
  • education
  • health
  • sustainable development

Specific fundraising and awareness activities will be assigned to clubs to adapt for their school audience. Clubs will receive instructional resources and programming support for each of these activities.

 As a committed educator, you are the key to making this program a life-changing experience for your students. To learn more and apply to form a club at your school, visit O Ambassadors online.
