Volunteer to Be a Welcome Ambassador |
Help us warmly welcome new families to Andover! As a welcome ambassador, you will be asked to:
|
- Connect with a small group of new parents by phone or email this summer
- Use provided outreach templates and tips to guide your conversations
|
Your mission is simple: extend a warm Big Blue welcome, serve as a friendly point of contact, and help foster family-to-family connections. Last summer, 70 volunteers connected with over 250 new families. We hope to make summer 2026 just as meaningful.
Sign up here by Friday, May 8. Questions? Email Meaghan Reilly, assistant director of Family Giving. If you signed up in February, you do not need to resubmit.
