City Seeks Toledo’s Next Class of Leaders for 2026 Engage Toledo Ambassador Academy
Are you the person your neighbors turn to when they have questions, ideas or concerns? Are you already involved in your community, or are you looking for an opportunity to take on a greater role? The City of Toledo is inviting residents to apply for the 2026 Engage Toledo Ambassador Academy (https://toledo.oh.gov/engage-toledo/ambassador-academy) .
Whether you participate in a neighborhood association, serve on a block watch, volunteer with a community organization, or simply want to better understand how your city works, the Ambassador Academy provides residents with the knowledge, connections and tools to become more engaged in their communities.
Over 11 weeks, participants will meet with City leaders and staff, tour City facilities and learn how city services, programs and decisions affect Toledo residents. Sessions will cover neighborhood initiatives, public safety with Toledo Police and Fire & Rescue, infrastructure, finance and budgeting, water and utilities, economic development, housing strategy, communications and customer service, and an evening with Mayor Kapszukiewicz.
The academy runs from Sept. 3 through Nov. 12, with sessions held Thursdays from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Participants must attend at least eight of the 10 sessions to graduate. The final session will include a graduation ceremony recognizing participants for completing the academy.
Since its launch in 2017, the Engage Toledo Ambassador Academy has connected residents with city departments and leaders while helping create stronger partnerships between neighborhoods and local government. Space is limited, and the program has consistently drawn more applicants than available spots.
Applications will be accepted from Aug. 10 through Aug. 14 at 5 p.m.
Residents interested in learning more about their city and becoming a stronger resource for their neighborhoods are encouraged to apply here. (https://toledo.oh.gov/engage-toledo/ambassador-academy)
