What is a PHRC Social Justice Ambassador?

Social Justice Ambassadors are key contacts that help the PHRC meet the needs of their community. 

As an Ambassador, you will:

  • Promote awareness of the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act and the Commission. 
  • Refer education, employment, housing, commercial property, or public accommodation discrimination complaints from community members to the PHRC. 
  • Keep the PHRC updated on incidents of hate and bias in your community. 
  • Notify the PHRC of community activities and events. 
  • Help the PHRC find spaces for outreach events, meetings, and/or hearings.

If you are interested in becoming a Social Justice Ambassador:

  • Email us your application.
  • If selected, you will be interviewed by a panel of at least two PHRC employees.
  • If you are chosen, the PHRC will provide training prior to your service as an ambassador.

Want to make a difference in your community?

Consider joining an Advisory Council to the PHRC near you and help inform Pennsylvanians about how the PHRC enforces discrimination protections.
