Join Wildfire Adapted Partnership (WAP) as a Neighborhood Ambassador and mobilize your community to engage in wildfire safety and wildfire preparedness activities.  You and your neighbors will be connected with trusted wildfire education, partners, assistance with mitigation projects, and more. As a Neighborhood Ambassador, you will be your neighborhoods point of contact for local firefighting entities, and more.

As a Neighborhood Ambassador, you:

• will have a willingness to do neighborhood outreach in fun and creative ways, enthusiasm, and an ability to work with others

• do not need to be an expert in wildfire, law enforcement, or firefighting. You just need to be passionate about protecting your neighborhood from wildfire

• are required to take volunteer orientation before getting started along with signing a Liability Waiver, reporting volunteer hours, and completing a Volunteer Commitment Form

• Report directly to your County Coordinator

Our Ambassadors bring their communities together by engaging their neighbors to prepare for wildfire in fun and innovative ways. By signing up to volunteer with WAP as an Ambassador, you will gain access to WAP partners, and our online Ambassador Notebook with all of the resources you need to assist your neighborhood in their wildfire preparedness activities.
