Ambassador Program
What is a Welcome Dayton Ambassador?
A Welcome Dayton Ambassador is anyone in the Dayton area who is interested in learning about the many cultures that exist in the area, sharing what they learn with others, volunteering with foreign-born communities, and modeling behavior that is welcoming and inclusive to newcomers to our community.
What does a Welcome Dayton Ambassador do?
Welcome Dayton Ambassadors network with native- and foreign-born Dayton residents, share information and resources, volunteer at multicultural events, and contribute their time and talents to making Dayton a more immigrant-friendly community. Ambassadors are regularly informed of volunteer opportunities through Welcome Dayton and other immigrant-friendly programs in the Dayton area. We invite our volunteers to share their stories with us on our Contact page.
