Lifescape Ambassadors share the mission of Lifescape by engaging community members in conversation, answering questions, handing out information, and collecting contact information. This is done through presentations, attending health fairs, or attending various networking events. Ambassadors may help arrange and plan their own events as well as identify other potential outreach opportunities and communicate them with the volunteer coordinator.
