Ambassador Program
The Community Ambassador Program is enshrined in the Constitution. The program empowers local leaders to identify and mitigate the social and legal helplessness within CALD communities. By bridging the gap between vulnerable groups and professionalized support, Ambassadors facilitate direct pathways to relief, ensuring our intervention is focused, impactful, and dedicated to alleviating the distress of those in significant need.
In accordance with the Constitution, reciting the Ambassador Pledge is mandatory for formal admission as an Ambassador or a Fellow.
The following categories are available:
▪︎ Youth Ambassador (from 15 to 35 years old)
▪︎ Ambassador (from 36 to 60 years old)
▪︎ Senior Ambassador (from 61 years old)
▪︎ Fellow (Pre-requisite appointment of Senior Ambassador)
▪︎ Senior Fellow (Pre-requisite appointment as a Fellow)
