The position requires strong listening and communication skills. The Fatherhood Mentor will implement, direct, instruct, guide, and document individual and/or group meeting with participants.
  
​​
To fill the role of Village Ambassador, we’re looking for individuals with a strong commitment to Samara’s Village and our mission. Good communication skills are necessary because this is primarily a volunteer public relations position. Our Ambassadors will represent Samara’s Village within a defined area (“territory”) of Brunswick County.
Village Ambassadors will call upon churches, service organizations, OB/GYN doctors and pediatric offices within their assigned territory. Some Ambassadors will be assigned middle and high schools or county services, exclusively. When visiting, the Village Ambassador will introduce or re-introduce Samara’s Village to the locations, drop brochures and discuss the participant referral process.
This volunteer position requires three to four hours per month and a car is necessary. The goal is to consistently promote Samara’s Village monthly at each location and build a relationship. The expected outcomes are an increase in program participants, donor development, and Samara’s Village name recognition.
