The NAA Ambassador Program, launched in 2025, empowers people with aphasia, care partners, professionals, and allies to be advocates and educators in their own communities. Whether you’re hosting a conversation at a local event or simply sharing resources, every voice makes a difference.
The NAA Ambassador Program is a national network of volunteers raising awareness about aphasia through community outreach, education, and advocacy.
