An ambassador helps share the mission and work of Finally Family Homes. Additionally, because the foster care to homelessness issues is not widely recognized, ambassadors help to bring this struggle into public awareness.

This can be accomplished by means of using social media to increase awareness and support for our cause. You can also share with friends and colleagues by word of mouth.

You can share your own personal experiences with foster or homeless youth, with our organization in particular, or even just why this issue touches your heart.

Duties and responsibilities include:
• Learning about the problem and why more help is needed
• Learning about Finally Family Homes
How we were founded and why
Our mission and approach to solving the problem

Sharing!
o Literally sharing our posts on social media – Facebook, Twitter, Instagram
o Sharing our emails and website
o It may even be sharing our Etsy shop with others to give them great resources while helping to support our mission.
o Creating your media awareness through articles or blogging.
Ambassadors are essential to helping Finally Family Homes grow and achieve its mission to provide personalized empowering care to youth exiting foster care without a family
