Program philosophy
The program runs on short leadership cycles, so the community keeps moving, keeps trying new formats and keeps finding people who are ready to lead. Every position here is earned through activity, initiative and real impact.
Program structure
How you grow inside the community
Four stages, each with its own scope of responsibility. You move forward by doing the work, not by waiting for a vacancy.
01

At least 1 monthThe foundation of every local chapter. You help with events, online activity and outreach, and this is where the community sees who is ready for more.
02
Vice Ambassador
3 monthsA support role with real ownership. You co-run events, coordinate volunteers and prepare to take the lead in the next cycle.
03
Lead Ambassador
3 monthsFull responsibility for the local chapter: events, volunteer team, partnerships and the connection with the central IT Community team.
04
Alumni

Leadership roles
Two roles that hold a chapter together
Vice Ambassador

The role in practice
What the term asks of you
The ambassador role is built around community growth and leadership. Most of the work happens with people: your volunteers, your university and the students who have not found their way into tech yet.
- Organising events and community activities
- Leading and mentoring volunteers
- Promoting the community on social media
- Expanding the local tech network
- Building partnerships inside the university
Time commitment is 8 to 10 hours a week. Candidates are encouraged to spend at least one month as a volunteer before taking an ambassador role.
