Become an Ambassador

 

What is an APF Ambassador?

Ambassadors are trained volunteers who act as representatives for APF. Our Ambassador program provides a unique and meaningful volunteer experience, allowing residents to play a pivotal role in strengthening our city’s parks. As an ambassador, you will:

  • Expand APF’s capacity to participate in community events across the city
  • Allow us to address needs, and invest appropriate resources, in diverse communities
  • Increase awareness about Austin Parks Foundation and the resources we offer
  • Assist APF in recruiting more volunteers throughout Austin and Travis County
