Ambassador Circle
Be a Voice for Local Kids
The Ambassador Circle is our volunteer group for people who want to do more for the young people in our community, all year long.
What It Is
A Hands-On Group of People Who Show Up
The Ambassador Circle brings together neighbors, business owners, teachers, nurses, coaches, and community leaders who care about kids. Members help at our signature events, speak up for the Clubs wherever they go, and meet other people who share their commitment.
It’s not a board, and there are no votes to take. It’s a hands-on group of people who show up.
Why “Ambassador”
At the grocery store, at work, at church, when someone asks what you’re up to this weekend, you carry the Clubs with you. That’s what makes you an Ambassador, wherever you go.
Who It’s For
Everyone Who Cares About Kids Is Welcome
Business owners, educators, health professionals, retirees, young professionals, and anyone who wants to help. You don’t need to be a donor or a leader, and you can join at any time.
