The following Agent Alert was sent September 1, 2011.

Dear Agents,

Welcome to the Ambassador League - a league of extraordinary young people, like yourselves, who have taken on a year-long mission. This year, you will meet influential people, work alongside other Ambassadors for the Kingdom, and push yourself to levels you never realized you could reach. We pray that this challenge will strengthen you in your faith and ready you to become a true Ambassador of Christ. Meet your destiny head-on!

You will find quickly that, though achievable, the task before you is not easy. In fact, sometimes it may seem impossible. That is why these alerts will be sent to you - to keep you focused and to remind you that we are here to support and help you in the most challenging times.

The first thing you will want to do is to MAKE A PLAN of which assignments in your Agent Packet you will accomplish when. It may help you to plan to complete 2-3 assignments per month. This way you will avoid the last-minute rush that inevitably comes at the end of summer. Although it seems like a long way away, it will sneak up on you. All of a sudden August 31, 2011 will be right around the corner with much left to do. Don't let that happen to you!

Wondering who will be dealing with all those reports you're sending in? Your Ambassador League Coordinator is Elizabeth Miller. She will be processing your reports and forms and answering many of your emails. She is a former Ambassador League student herself and is thrilled to have the opportunity to work with you! Contact her at any time at amleague@ssi-online.org.

Here are some suggestions to get you going.

MISSION: TACTICS

  • SSI Experience Report - A good first project to complete is your SSI Experience report. What impact did SSI make on you this summer? Your recent foray into SSI should still be fresh in your mind, so write up that report and send it in while you can still remember the details!
  • Mentor Form - You should choose a Mentor as soon as possible. This adult will meet with you over the course of the year and help you reach your goals. The faster you choose a mentor, the faster your points will start adding up. Don't minimize the importance your mentor will play this year, and all your mentors will have in the rest of your life.

We're excited to have you aboard this year! Make it your goal to finish. Let's get rolling!

Carpe diem!

Ambassador League Commander
