Sustain Charlotte Ambassador Training

Join us for our volunteer training to become an ambassador for Sustain Charlotte!

This free training session will take place at the Sustain Charlotte office for approximately 2 hours. Volunteers will be guided through an initial staff presentation about the mission and history of Sustain Charlotte and have a chance to learn about efforts being taken today to generate a healthier, more equitable, and vibrant community. 

Attendees will also be invited to engage in an educational activity, explore government resources, and ask questions to build the skills and confidence necessary to represent Sustain Charlotte at community events. 

We'll provide coffee and breakfast treats.

When the training concludes at 11:00, new and current ambassadors are invited to join Sustain Charlotte staff for an optional guided walking tour of South End. We'll learn firsthand about many urban design principles and transportation issues discussed during the training. At the end of the tour, you can return to the office with one of our staff or hang out at one of the local eateries in South End with your fellow ambassadors. 

Who should attend? This ambassador training is geared towards individuals who:

• Have some familiarity with Sustain Charlotte, such as previously attending one of our events, following us on social media, or receiving our newsletter.
• Enjoy meeting new people and sharing enthusiasm for Sustain Charlotte's work.
• Can volunteer with us at least 3 times per year. We have many opportunities on weekends and weekday evenings. Spring and fall are busiest!

Please note that Ambassador Training will take place at the Sustain Charlotte office. To access our office, visitors must climb two flights of stairs and there is no elevator available. If this presents a barrier to your participation, please email Meg Fencil at meg.fencil@sustaincharlotte.org and we'll work out a solution.

The Carson light rail station is a 12-minute walk and various CATS bus routes serve the area. If you're driving, you can park free in the small lot behind our building.
