Summary:
Micah joins Matt and Mark to explain how the Herzog Foundation Ambassador Program works, what she has learned in her first month, and why Christian school leaders should pay attention. We discuss how the program builds early-career connections, exposes ambassadors to Christian conservative organizations across the country, and gives them a front-row seat to the needs of Christian educators.
