A Road Scholar Ambassador is an authorized representative of Road Scholar. Through presentations, events, and personal interactions, Ambassadors promote Road Scholar’s enriching learning adventures in their local communities and beyond, with the goal of growing the Road Scholar audience.

Our Ambassadors have delivered more than 5,000 presentations and introduced more than 125,000 people to Road Scholar's experiential learning opportunities. If you’ve enjoyed Road Scholar programs, like meeting new people and feel comfortable speaking in front of a group, we’d love to welcome you to the Ambassador team!

Road Scholar Ambassadors will tell you that the greatest benefit of being the “face of Road Scholar” in their communities is getting to meet new people and sharing their love of learning and travel. But that’s not where the perks end.

Ambassadors earn program voucher credit for completing tasks, like...

• Hosting Ambassador Presentations in your community
• Attending local events, festivals and fairs
• Adding names to the Road Scholar mailing list
• Staffing conferences or expos as a spokesperson for Road Scholar
• Engaging in Road Scholar Facebook discussion groups
• Writing program reviews
• Posting to personal social media accounts about Road Scholar
• Contributing to the Ambassador newsletter or the Road Scholar Blog
• Being interviewed for news articles and podcasts
• Performing other “Ambassador Challenges” as they come up

We make it easy!
We’ll walk you through the process and provide all the support you need to be a successful Ambassador. We provide a PowerPoint presentation, talking points, brochures, materials for events, and more!
