The Southeast Coastal Ambassadors are a special group of volunteers that engage the public in the North Carolina Coastal Federation’s work and projects. Ambassadors serve as representatives of the federation at festivals, programs and other outreach events. Benefits of being an ambassador include monthly trainings, special field trips and recognition through T-shirts and name tags.
Each month, the federation holds a Coastal Ambassador training that alternates monthly between a day field meeting and an evening program meeting. The program is designed to be fun and interactive, allowing volunteers to socialize with one another while learning more about the work of the federation and the coastal environment.
Those who wish to become Coastal Ambassadors are required to attend an orientation session held at 5:30 p.m. before the evening program meetings. These take place every other month. Ambassadors are required to attend at least five trainings per year and represent the federation at a minimum of three outreach events. This program is for people 16 years or older.
