Yes; the definition of an "apostle" is a messenger and authorized representative of the sender. Scripture broadly uses this term to refer to the followers of Jesus, but more commonly it applies specifically to the first twelve men chosen by Jesus as His immediate aids. In the sense of the definition of the word, then all baptized members of the Church are called to be apostles as anyone baptized is baptized to be a priest, prophet, and king and so is called to spread the Good News of Christ to the world.
