CAMPUS AMBASSADOR CRITERIA AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
1. Committed Christian – You have accepted the challenge and adventure of receiving Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior. Because this is so, you will be expected to demonstrate this relationship with Him by living it out every day. Through personal devotions, time spent in prayer and in the Word, fasting, and discipleship training, it is our number one goal that you leave this internship with a closer and more personal walk with the Creator of everything.
2. Vision – We expect you to have a vision and dream to make a difference in the world through new and creative ways. You will be encouraged to generate new ideas and ways to help fulfill our mission statement: "To Impact the World through Action Sports!"
3. Love –LOVE is the root of the organization and the source for everything we do. It is the very reason Ride Nature was founded and it is only through the Love of Christ that we are able to do any of the work that we are currently doing. Love is the foundation of our Faith and ultimately why we hope you are applying to work with the organization. You will be expected to live a life of Love, not because of expectations, but because of the desire of your heart.
4. Ride – Although you most likely aren’t a pro, or maybe you’re not even that great at any particular "board sport", as a part of the Ride Nature team we will expect you to have a love of action sports. As a part of this position you will be expected to spend some time on a board, working to establish relationships with children in the community, developing opportunities for outreach, and using the time you ride as chances to share the Truth, earn trust, and show Love, all for the Glory of God. It is our desire to use these powerful mediums (surfing, skating, skimboarding, etc…) as tools to impact the world for Jesus Christ.
5. Influence – We ask that you are be willing to use the gifts and talents that God has given you to be a Christ-like example, influence, and a Christian role model for the individuals around you.
6. Church – As an ambassador with the organization you will be expected to be actively involved in a local church and attend regularly. We strongly believe that it is crucial for individuals doing ministry to be poured in to. While you will be constantly ministering to others, we believe the church is a great place for you to be personally ministered to.
7. Values – The relationships that you create through working with the organization should demonstrate a steadfast commitment to Jesus Christ and His Word through Integrity, Service, Teamwork, and Excellence. Integrity – you should demonstrate a Christ-like wholeness, privately and publicly. Service – you should model Jesus’ example of serving the community. Teamwork – you will express your unity in Christ in all your relationships. Excellence – you will honor and glorify God in all you do.
8. Grow – We will expect you to seek God’s will with all your heart through prayer, Bible studies, ministering to others, sharing your testimony, and disciplining others as you are discipled as well. As you gain wisdom, courage, and motivation to share your testimony and the Gospel it is our desire that those traits will be results of a closer walk with the Lord.
9. Minister – As an ambassador with the organization you will be expected to be involved with outreach projects on a regular basis. Whether those projects are based at the beach through surfing/skimboarding outreach events, or they are at the skatepark, we will expect you to encourage, equip and empower other individuals through your witness as they see Christ in you and the way you live your life.
10. Motivated – As we plan and coordinate trips, events, contests, concerts, etc… we will expect you to be enthusiastic and motivated about the organization as well. We expect you to be a go getter, self started, and show initiative. You will be expected to be able to exercise basic communication skills, as well as help with organizing, brainstorming, ministry leaderrship, fundraising tactics and ideas, local skate comps, marketing, advertising, and general promotion for the organization.
If you believe you meet this list of requirements to be an ambassador we would like to encourage you to move forward in this application process.
