Addi’s Faith Foundation Junior Ambassadors Guidelines

The purpose of Addi’s Faith Foundation is to fund childhood cancer research as well as provide financial and emotional support to families struggling to care for a child with cancer.  The purpose of the Junior Ambassadors is to advise the AFF Board of Directors in matters that increase awareness of AFF’s mission and recruit volunteers among school-aged youth, raise funds, and develop future leaders.  The following guidelines outline the annual commitment of Junior Ambassadors to ensure commitment and continuity throughout the year.

I commit…

… to attend 8 of the 10 Junior Ambassador meetings during the August to May one-year term.

…to attend the 2 Mandatory Service Events (Fall- Walk by Faith, Spring- AddiBall)

… to volunteer a minimum of 10 hours directly at or in preparation for AFF events, not including the Junior Ambassador meetings/Mandatory Service Events. The list of AFF events include, but are not limited to: Go Gold Events, AddiShack, Holiday Home Tour, Kids Kicking Cancer, Celebration Dinner, 4th of July Parade,       etc.

… to participate in ONE committee that is most aligned with my interest and skill set.

… to being an ambassador to my current school and out-of-school interests (i.e. dance studio, baseball team, church youth group, theater group). An ambassador communicates AFF events to your campus and group with prior approval of its leader.

… to positively promote Addi’s Faith Foundation through social media in a way that encourages your friends to join us in our mission

 

Addi’s Faith Foundation’s mission and values are built upon faith, hope, and love in and through Jesus Christ. “Everything is possible for him who believes.” Mark 9:23. Our hope, with God’s guiding hand, is to find a cure for childhood cancers.  We show love to families of children with cancer who need peace and comfort through prayer, encouraging words, and financial assistance.  AFF also values integrity, teamwork, positivity, dedication, and service.

 

I understand…

… that I, as Junior Ambassador, should embody the AFF mission and values at AFF events, school, out-of-school interests, and through social media. I understand that behavior inconsistent with the AFF mission and values could result in exit from the Junior Ambassador program.

… Junior Ambassador meetings, as a faith-based non-profit organization, will reference God’s Word and engage in prayer as a group.

… that inability to meet the commitments written above could result in probation or removal from the Junior Ambassador program.
