2017 SAMBASSADOR RETREAT
Each year the Sambassadors come together to brainstorm new outreach strategies, participate in professional development workshops, and connect with each other.
SAMBASSADORS
Sambassadors are some of our most loyal and dedicated volunteers, committed to taking a leadership role in our organization while spreading the word about our mission and raising funds for our programs in their local communities. This year we were lucky enough to have 30 Sambassadors, from all over the country, committed to promoting The Samfund.
