Community Ambassador Program (CAP)

Community Ambassador Program

Just like an ambassador for a local chamber of commerce, our Fisher House is blessed with many volunteers who give of their time throughout the year in various capacities.  This group of volunteers, lovingly called Community Ambassadors are volunteers on super drive.  They are the unsung heroes who work tirelessly behind the scenes of our great organization, working community events in leadership roles.

Calling all Volunteers on Superdrive

A community ambassador is a precious resource of Fisher House.  A volunteer who participates in this program is passionate about the mission, may serve for a period of 12 months or more with some frequency and expresses an interest in representing Fisher House at events and check acceptances for our cause champions, share a specialized talent or skill, staff a promotional booth and distribute information about our organization.

Considering volunteering?

To get the most out of your experience, ask yourself these questions:

What have I done in the past that I’ve enjoyed?
What do I want to do as a volunteer ?
How much time can I commit?
What talents or skills can I offer?
What kinds of people do I want to work with?
What would I most like to learn by volunteering?
