SUMMARY:BakerRipley Ambassador Program
DESCRIPTION:You are already making a difference in your community. Let us help you make an even greater impact.\n\n\nAre you the person your neighbors\, friends\, clients\, church members\, or community members come to when they need help\, information\, or resources? \nCommunity leaders are often the first people someone turns to when they are looking for support. But even the most connected leaders don’t always know about all the resources available in our community. \nThat’s why we created the BakerRipley Ambassador Program. \nThe BakerRipley Ambassador Program is an interactive experience designed to help community leaders\, advocates\, volunteers\, and connectors learn more about BakerRipley and the resources available across our programs—so you can become a trusted voice and confidently connect more people to opportunities that can make a difference in their lives. \nWhy become a BakerRipley Ambassador?\nBecause being a community leader isn’t about knowing all the answers. It’s about knowing where to connect people when they need support. \nDuring this session\, you’ll meet BakerRipley team members\, learn how our programs work\, understand who can benefit from them\, and most importantly\, learn how to connect someone to the right resource. \nOur first Ambassador Program session will spotlight: \nEntrepreneur ConnectionDiscover resources available to entrepreneurs and aspiring business owners\, including business education\, coaching\, access to capital\, and other opportunities. \nCivic EngagementLearn how BakerRipley helps community members strengthen their voices\, participate in civic life\, and become more engaged in their communities. \nLearning & Innovation CentersExplore the programs\, services\, classes\, and opportunities available through BakerRipley’s Learning & Innovation Centers. \nWho should attend?\nThis experience is for anyone passionate about helping others and strengthening their community—including community leaders\, neighborhood advocates\, faith leaders\, volunteers\, educators\, nonprofit partners\, small business leaders\, and people who naturally serve as trusted connectors for others. \nYou don’t need a formal title to be a community leader. If people trust you\, come to you for information\, or look to you for guidance\, this experience is for you. \nBe our voice in the community.\nYou may not personally need every BakerRipley resource you learn about—but someone you know might. \nAs a BakerRipley Ambassador\, you can help more people discover resources they may not know exist and connect them to programs and opportunities that can help them move forward. \nYour voice. Your connections. Greater community impact. \n📅 Thursday\, October 29\, 2026⏰ 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM📍 BakerRipley Central – East End Learning Center \nSessions will be offered simultaneously in English and Spanish. \nSpace is limited to 25 participants per session. \nJoin the BakerRipley Ambassador Program and become part of a network of community leaders helping connect more people to resources\, opportunities\, and each other.
