Ambassador Program
The LHFH Ambassador Program is designed to give young, diverse, energetic, committed community members leadership experience in support of LHFH in a variety of capacities. Ambassadors will serve as liaisons between LHFH and the Lexington community to promote the mission of LHFH to donors, volunteers, partner families, and others. Ambassadors will play an essential role in LHFH’s mission and hopefully will be inspired to become the next generation of LHFH leaders.
Ambassadors will receive an extensive training in the history, mission, and practices of LHFH and will have the opportunity to support LHFH through many different means. Ambassadors will have monthly meetings, participate in at least two build dates per year, assist with special events as needed, support fundraising events, and recruit new Ambassadors. Each Ambassador will have a member of the LHFH Board of Directors serve as a personal mentor. Ambassadors will serve two year terms, with the option for a third year.
New Ambassador groups of 10-15 individuals will began serving with LHFH in the early fall of each year, and applications will be made available in mid August. For more information, please contact Rob Turner at robt@lexhabitat.org or 859-252-2224 ext. 108.
