​​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.

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.
