Calling all Friends of the Smokies enthusiasts! We’re looking for passionate volunteers to represent Friends of the Smokies at community events as Friends Ambassadors.
As a Friends Ambassador, you’ll serve as the face of our organization, sharing our mission at tabling events in the park’s gateway communities in both Tennessee and North Carolina. These events are perfect for meeting new friends, bringing awareness to our organization, and showcasing the projects we support in the park.
Friends Ambassadors play a vital role in sharing our message and mission. We’re building a team of outgoing and enthusiastic individuals to help us attend more events throughout the year.
Ideal Candidates:
- Enjoy talking to new people.
- Can commit to working at least four events per year.
- Are willing to drive up to two hours to events using their own vehicle.
If this sounds like a fit for you, join us for our first Friends Ambassador Orientation on January 16, 2025, from 10 a.m to 3 p.m. at the Oconaluftee Visitor Center. The session will provide all the tools and skills you need to excel in this role.
To sign up or ask questions, please email Olivia Wright at olivia@friendsofthesmokies.org.
We can’t wait to have you on our team!
