OWL Ambassadors gives schools an opportunity to prepare students for greater independence by strengthening the health literacy, communication, leadership, and advocacy skills they can carry into adulthood. 

When schools purchase access to OWL Ambassadors, they receive engaging resources designed to strengthen health literacy, leadership development, and wellness education for students in 9th through 12th grade. 

Schools can purchase OWL Ambassadors as a flexible, ready‑to‑use, stand-alone resource that integrates easily into high‑school wellness courses, advisory programs, or graduation‑aligned health requirements. Ambassadors can be implemented independently. Schools do not need to purchase earlier OWL levels to adopt this stage.

Schools receive a comprehensive, high‑school–ready wellness literacy program designed to help students transition confidently into adulthood. OWL Ambassadors includes:

• Engaging Video Lessons: Relevant learning experiences that explore health literacy, wellness, leadership, advocacy, and real-world decision-making.
• Teaching Guides:  Educator resources designed to support instruction, discussion, reflection, and application.
• Curriculum Integration Support: Flexible resources that can complement existing health, wellness, leadership, and student development initiatives while supporting alignment with the National Health Education Standards and local curriculum goals.
• Student learning materials focused on analysis, evaluation, and personal application. 
• Digital resources for classroom, advisory, or college‑and‑career readiness programs.
• Performance‑based assessments that measure mastery of health literacy skills.
• Ideas for leadership, advocacy, and community engagement
•  

OWL Ambassadors integrates smoothly into existing high‑school wellness, health education, or graduation‑aligned requirements.

OWL Ambassadors deepens health literacy through advanced, real‑world content that supports maturity, independence, and leadership.

The program explores the knowledge and skills high school students need to become informed decision-makers, confident communicators, and health-literate leaders. As students prepare for adulthood, the program connects health literacy to real-life responsibilities, personal goals, relationships, leadership, and community well-being.
