AMBASSADOR INFORMATION

LEAD. BUILD. GROW

Our incredible LGBT+ Outdoors Ambassadors are the all-volunteer front line of our community. Not only are they passionate about our mission, but they also possess the willingness and know-how to help guide local ‘family’ chapters into the great outdoors. Even if there is currently an Ambassador in your location, feel free to apply! Many locations have a large enough LGBTQ+ community to support more than one Ambassador.

The basic responsibilities for our LGBT+ Outdoors Ambassadors are:

  • Be passionate about the outdoors and help spread the mission of LGBT Outdoors

  • Go through Ambassador approval process by LGBT Outdoors leadership

  • High standards of integrity and leadership with friendly professionalism

  • Dedicated to hosting events every other month. (You can host more if you desire.)

  • One year commitment. If you desire to quit early, you will help us find a qualified replacement before

    announcing you are stepping down if at all possible.

  • Help recruit an additional LGBT Outdoors Ambassador in your local area. 

  • No sexual comments, innuendos or thirst traps in the Facebook groups

  • Be welcoming and accepting of all LGBTQIA+ people

  • Make sure all in-person attendees have registered and most importantly we have a release form from them. If not, they need to  register for the event and submit the release form that is automatically emailed to them. A release form is required in order to participate in official LGBT Outdoors activities.

  •  Complete an Ambassador Release Form (one is needed each year.)

  • Be willing to be an admin in the State Facebook group you represent

  • After each event, drop LGBT Outdoors an email with a couple photos (people in the photo need to be ok with their photo taken), attendance, what went well, and what could have been better.

  • Our local events are free for attendees, but we ask for a donation if they would like to help with our mission. This excluding hard costs like kayak rentals, park entry fees, etc. We rely heavily on donations and event sponsorships to keep LGBT Outdoors operating.
