Participants may engage in:
-
Meetings with state legislators
-
Testimony and policy discussions
-
Participation in district and community events

Ambassadors in Action
Ambassadors in Action is a statewide network of volunteer champions working to strengthen adult education across Colorado. The initiative connects educators, workforce partners, and community advocates who support adult learners and expand awareness of education-to-career pathways.
Ambassadors contribute by:
-
Building partnerships with local adult education programs, workforce centers, community organizations, and employers
-
Sharing adult learner stories and highlighting program impact
-
Supporting outreach and community events
-
Promoting awareness of adult education and career pathways
-
Engaging stakeholders to strengthen statewide collaboration
Through these activities, Ambassadors develop leadership skills in communication, facilitation, collaboration, and stakeholder engagement while helping elevate the voice of adult learners and expand access to education and career opportunities across Colorado.
Every learner's journey is unique, and every success deserves to be celebrated. At the Colorado Adult Education Coalition (CAEC), we partner with educators, workforce organizations, employers, and community partners to help learners overcome barriers, build new skills, and achieve their educational and career goals.
Our Learner Success Stories highlight the determination, resilience, and accomplishments of individuals who have earned a high school equivalency diploma, improved their English language skills, completed workforce training, entered apprenticeships, advanced their careers, or continued their education. These stories reflect the life-changing impact of adult education and the power of opportunity.
By sharing these experiences, we hope to inspire future learners, recognize the dedication of educators and partners, and demonstrate how adult education creates stronger families, a skilled workforce, and thriving Colorado communities.
