Become a Parent Ambassador

Research conducted across the country shows that a parent of a Catholic school student or graduate can play a significant role in a prospective family’s decision to send their child to a Catholic school. The power of firsthand experience shared by word of mouth is undeniably the most influential factor.

Remember when you made the choice to send your child to a Catholic school? The likelihood is that you, yourself, went to a Catholic school. Or, if you didn’t, someone who already has their child in a Catholic school told you how wonderful their school is and that you should send your child there, too. This “parent ambassador” made an impact on you. Research conducted across the country confirms this. It shows that a parent of a Catholic school student or graduate can play a significant role in a prospective family’s decision to send their child to a Catholic school. The power of firsthand experience shared by word of mouth is undeniably the most influential factor. 

Why is this important? In Catholic schools across the country, enrollment is not at full capacity. Growing enrollment, or enrollment at capacity, ensures that a Catholic school remains viable and sustainable, with a thriving future that allows it to obtain new resources, enhance curriculum and upgrade/improve facilities. Catholic schools nationwide that have effectively utilized parent ambassadors or have implemented successful ambassador programs have experienced consecutive years of stable and/or growing enrollment.

What do parent ambassadors do? As a parent ambassador at Carmel Catholic, you would support the efforts of the Admissions Office, as well as the school administration. You would serve as an unofficial recruiter helping to increase enrollment by cultivating the influence that you, as a parent of a current or former student, possess.

How is this accomplished? The positive and supportive word-of-mouth that you share with prospective parents is the best way to market and promote Carmel Catholic. As a satisfied parent, you will be an advocate, an ambassador and an effective word-of-mouth marketer for our school.

What other ways can I, as a parent ambassador, spread the good news about my Catholic school? In addition to the power of word-of-mouth sharing between parents, there are other key roles that you can play within Carmel Catholic’s recruitment efforts. 

You can: 

  1. Serve as a tour guide during open house events, prospective parent nights, and personal on-campus visits. 
  2. Represent Carmel Catholic on a parent panel at various recruitment events
  3. Be a personal one-on-one contact (face-to-face, phone call, email, handwritten letter) with potential families, initially and/or as a follow-up. 
  4. Serve as a school representative by attending community events, conducting outreach events at your parish, or hosting (in coordination with the Carmel Catholic Admissions Office) a social event. 
  5. Assist with our school’s social media campaign by writing positive reviews, posts and tweets. 
  6. Inform the Carmel Catholic Marketing and Admissions Offices of the best way to communicate and market within your community. This communication and marketing include bulletins, newsletters, sponsorships, social media postings, etc.
