What do TreeAmbassadors do?
Candidates attend a 1-hour workshop where they will learn key talking points about TreesCharlotte and how to prepare for an outreach event. As public-facing opportunities arise, we will equip you with an event box complete with key facts, fun stuff to give away, important literature and whatever else is required!
What is the time commitment?
TreeAmbassadors are asked to volunteer at a minimum of 3 outreach events annually (each about 3 hours).
