We have our eyes set on MISSION: 100 – having 100 Ambassadors in Atlanta Public Schools by 2026. When you answer the call and become a LEAD Champion, you help us get closer to this goal.

The Champions Draft Experience

A fulfilling and empowering experience, Champions from various industries and walks of life are recruited to step up to the plate and go to bat for some of Atlanta’s hidden treasures: The L.E.A.D. Ambassadors.

The Selection Process

For Champions who answer the call, Ambassador Captains will divide them between two teams. Champions (or the designated proxy) will receive an Ambassador uniform (jersey, pants, belt, hat) on game day. Champions must provide their own cleats.

Game Day

Champions and Ambassadors will play a 7-inning or 90-minute baseball game with modified rules. Immediately following the game, everyone will fellowship at the Champions luncheon.
