Ambassadors
IT'S EASY TO GET FRIEND STRONG!
All school-age kids and teens are considered "Ambassadors" as soon as they send a letter or video of support to a Friend Mail Recipient. They can also work towards becoming Official, Presentation and/or Super Ambassadors. (So can their adult leaders, parents and educators!)
OFFICIAL Ambassadors:
Groups
The first time a class, school, organization or any group of K-12 youths sends a BATCH of Friend Mail, that group will become Official Ambassadors and will receive a certificate.
individuals
Individual kids and teens become Official Ambassadors and can receive a Certificate and a FRIEND STRONG WRISTBAND after one full school season of sending Friend Mail letters to each featured Recipient.
PRESENTATION Ambassadors:
Kids and teens who decide to present the BAFP by (for example) running display tables, visiting classrooms, speaking to organizations, conferences and groups, etc., are immediately dubbed Official Ambassadors and can receive a Certificate, Official Ambassador Badge with heart-hands Lanyard and a "Friend Strong Wristband" to enhance their presentation.
sUPER Ambassadors:
Individuals, groups - students and adults - who have consistently contributed letters of support for at least 2 seasons AND/OR have done something AMAZING to help grow and share the Be A Friend Project and its FRIEND STRONG message (such as recruiting teachers or friends, organizing assemblies or surprise deliveries, fundraising, presenting to classrooms...) are awarded a SUPER Ambassador Certificate, and join our Super Ambassador Hall-Of-Fame. This designation is awarded at the discretion of the Be A Friend Project Board of Directors and Executive Director at the end of every school season.

THROW A LETTER-WRITING PARTY!
Dear Ambassadors,
We don't exist without you!
You make our mission a reality. You make acts-of-kindness and community service a priority, and build empathy in your community - and across the nation. It's a fact; the more we build a young friend's capacity for empathy by having them step-into-the-shoes of a victim, the less he, she or they will bully. You are part of the solution. Thank you for choosing the Be A Friend Project to make a difference!
YOU ARE OUR HEROES AND OUR HEART!
PLEASE STAY FRIEND STRONG WITH US.
Share the Be A Friend Project on social media, in your schools and communities. Show the world how much you love us! To get updates right to your inbox, join the Ambassador email group by sending an email to jennifer@beafriendproject.org with "Add me to your Ambassador emails" in the subject line - and send! It's Easy!
Ambassadors receive email notifications when a new Friend Mail Recipient is listed on our website or when surprise Friend Mail has been delivered. Simply send jennifer@beafriendproject.org an email from your address with "Add me to your Ambassador mailing list" in the subject line - DONE!
The Be A Friend Project will never share your contact information with anyone without permission. Contact information, addresses and last names of all under-18 Ambassadors and Recipients stay safely within the Be A Friend Project office. Contact information will never be released without permission.
Be sure to list "Be A Friend Project Ambassador" on your resumes and applications. You are an Ally and an Upstander. Potential employers, organizations and schools will want you on their team! We will also sign Community Service Hours forms.
There is no time commitment. You can choose not to write certain Friend Mail Recipients and you can stop writing letters altogether. We know life can get busy and sometimes we have to take care of ourselves and our personal responsibilities before we can help support others. You are greatly appreciated for any amount of time spent as an Ambassador!
