TEEN AMBASSADOR PROGRAM
EMPOWERING YOUTH. BUILDING LEADERS. CREATING CHANGE.
The Crescent Dream Foundation Teen Ambassador Program empowers high school students to take action in their communities while developing valuable leadership skills for the future. This initiative connects youth with meaningful opportunities to engage in nonprofit work, blending community service with personal growth. By involving young people in our mission, we bring fresh energy, new ideas, and future leaders to the fight against sickle cell disease.
​
Our program also raises awareness among youth about sickle cell disease and the programs we offer to support the community. Teen Ambassadors gain hands-on experience in leadership, learn how nonprofit organizations operate, and develop the skills to design, promote, and implement their own initiatives.
