Advocacy Ambassadors

The Legacies Advocacy Ambassador Program (LAAP) equips passionate individuals to become grassroots leaders in the fight to end the legacy of unexploded ordnance (UXO) in Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia. Our ambassadors are storytellers, educators, organizers, and bridge-builders — amplifying the voices of those affected by war and advocating for lasting peace through U.S. policy change.

As an Advocacy Ambassador, you’ll receive training, resources, and mentorship to help you:

Engage your local community and elected officials
Organize events and mobilize support
Share stories of resilience and hope
Recruit others to join the movement
Play a vital role in growing the UXO/Demining Congressional Caucus

My connection to the work that Legacies of War does is a deeply personal one. My father died in 1998 from cancer caused by exposure to Agent Orange. I was 13 years old. He had served in the Navy during the war in Vietnam from 1965-1972. I know all too well that the casualties of war do not end when troops are withdrawn or treaties are signed.
