In partnership with DoD STEM, TGR Foundation manages the STEM Ambassador Program, which recognizes outstanding educators and promotes STEM learning across the country. DoD STEM Ambassadors are carefully chosen by the Department of Defense STEM Education Consortium (DSEC) and DoD STEM based on their commitment to working with students who have been historically underrepresented in STEM and/or are military connected.

Ambassadors serve a one-year term and participate in a variety of professional development and community building.
