Details to Consider

You can use your existing foster coordinator to simplify the process, or a qualified volunteer. Some may simply choose the best “people” person on staff. He or she is responsible for making sure photos and information about animals are collected and shared with Adoption Ambassadors.

Find out what type of communication works best for everyone, and try to honor that medium. If email is best – great. What about texts?

How about a private Facebook group for Ambassadors where they can support one another and you can share updates and info?
