The Texas Crime Stoppers Student Ambassador Program is a student based leadership program for Texas youth involved in their Crime Stoppers community across the state. The aim of the program is to establish a network of informed and influential students throughout Texas who can actively represent Crime Stoppers while building a proficient skill set and gaining leadership experience.
The program consists of 12 students who are carefully chosen and tasked with setting leadership standards of excellence among their peer groups, acting as role models on their campuses and in their communities, and are also required to complete a series of projects over the course of a calendar year.
Let's congratulate our 2024-2025 Texas Crime Stoppers Student Ambassadors!
