Ambassadors represent Nyah Project out in the community and have two focus areas:

1. Fundraising - Support our organizational growth strategy via connections to potential funders, identifying potential funding opportunities, and/or securing additional funds for the organization itself. Our goal is to raise $1.5 million or around 3 years of growth capital for operations to allow focus on product development and strategic scaling.

2. Partnerships - Help to connect and build relationships with strategic individuals + organizations to increase impact. While we are still currently focusing on South Florida, our goal is to expand to 30 cities by 2030.
