The Texas Crime Stoppers Ambassador Program is a student leadership initiative designed for youth engaged in their local Crime Stoppers community.

Each ambassador is assigned a month to contribute an article for the Texas Crime Stoppers newsletter. Possible topics include campus program success stories, interviews with their Student Resource Officer or a board member, community involvement, as well as editorials on leadership, mentoring, or student motivation.
