Ambassador Toolkit
By becoming a GiveNDay Ambassador, you are choosing to use your voice to spread the word about the greatness of Northern State University! GiveNDay Ambassadors, aka GiveNDay influencers, spread the word of GiveNDay through various forms of communication. In the past, our Ambassadors have sent emails and text messages, made phone calls, and shared our GiveNDay message on their social media spreading the word on our 36-hour giving campaign celebration. Ambassadors play a crucial role in the success of our giving campaign, and we are so grateful for all those who choose to volunteer!
