Description
Sunshine Ambassadors are student representatives who are passionate about leading a team and achieving our goal of widespread poverty relief.

Duties
As a Sunshine Ambassador you will:
- Extend the reputation of Sunshine Action UK at your institution by creating and leading a society/club
- Gather volunteers and promote our events
- Create and lead your own unique projects, including running Fortune Bag events where food is distributed to low-income families and the homeless
- Assist with grant writing, fundraising, event planning, marketing etc.
- Learn more about the workings of our charity organisation
Who will the volunteers be working with?
Volunteers will be working closely with other volunteers, our partners, and the local community.
Training
Volunteers in this role will receive as much guidance and support necessary to be successful in the role. We understand that students may not be strong in all of the skills that we look for, but we are happy to train anybody who is at least passionate about our cause and wishes to do more than passively joining events. Helping the youth develop leadership skills is part of our organisation's ethos.
Time commitment
Sunshine Ambassadors work closely with our organisation and are passionate self-starters. Although commitment is flexible, running a society at university takes effort and time to make it successful. Sunshine Action values long term commitment as we believe that the network we create will be useful in the future to all of our volunteers.
