Am I or my child eligible for the BACHAO Ambassador program?

Answer:
Any student in 10^th-12^th grade is welcome to apply for the Ambassador program. Younger students will not be accepted into the program, simply because the level of commitment may be too high for them to comfortably match. Students who will be in 10^th grade or higher during the 2017-2018 school year are welcome to apply to be an Ambassador in 2017. Prior volunteer experience is preferred but not required for entry into the Ambassador program.



What are the expectations of the BACHAO Ambassadors?

Answer:
Each Ambassador is required to be a fully contributing member of the program for a minimum of 2 years. During this time, each Ambassador is expected to participate in all discussions and communicate frequently with fellow Ambassadors and Mentors. This means responsibly completing all delegated tasks, as well as responding promptly to emails, group texts, Skype, etc. Ambassadors are also required to attend every event planned by the BACHAO Ambassadors.

An ideal candidate for the Ambassador program should be responsible, self-motivated, and passionate about community service. They should also have their own email address, and preferably their own cell phone, or regular reliable access to a cell phone. They will also need access to a Skype account.

How much of a time commitment is the Ambassador program?

Answer:
Ambassadors must attend all BACHAO Ambassador events, which occur roughly once every month on the weekends. Additionally, the Ambassadors are expected to meet at least once a month to discuss progress and updates on various ongoing events. These meetings are preferably held in person, but can also be conducted over Skype if necessary. Ambassadors must be self-motivated to fulfil all the tasks required of them between meetings. This can mean spending anywhere from 2-6 hours a week on BACHAO Ambassadors.



‍Where do BACHAO Ambassadors’ meetings and events take place?‍

‍Answer:
Since the Ambassadors are located all over Southern California, our meetings and events are similarly scattered all over to best accommodate everyone’s preferences. We also try to have Ambassadors use Skype to remotely attend meetings when the location is too far for them to attend.
