What It Means to Be a DAPA Ambassador
To be a DAPA Ambassador is to become a catalyst for transformation—within yourself and your community. The DAPA Ambassador Program empowers individuals through cultural immersion, life skills and soft skills training, and a spiritually grounded leadership experience.
Mission Outreaches: Service-based opportunities to meet spiritual and practical needs through hands-on volunteerism, prayer, evangelism, and acts of compassion. These take place in Barbados, the United States, and local communities.
Cultural Immersion Experiences: Deep educational engagement with another culture’s history, customs, values, and language. These experiences are designed to expand global awareness, empathy, and adaptability in leadership.
Participants grow through intentional mentorship, biblical and emotional intelligence principles, and a service-oriented leadership model rooted in purpose.
