AFL Community Ambassador Program
REGISTER NOW
The AFL Community Ambassador program was established in 2013, with the aim to engage Multicultural Communities through a network of dedicated volunteers while using Australian Rules Football as a vehicle of engagement and inclusion.
The role of a AFL Community Ambassador
The role of a Community Ambassador has grown and expanded over the journey. Through strong partnerships with the AFL and its affiliated State bodies, Ambassadors have supported initiatives that have seen our game become more welcoming, accessible and inclusive for all Australians.
Through the AFL Community Ambassador program, Ambassadors have undertaken the following roles and responsibilities:
1. Promotions of Football in Multicultural Communities
2. Providing Cultural education and advice
3. Assisting local Community Football clubs
4. Activating key Multicultural festivals and AFL match day experiences
5. Involved in Coaching and Umpiring pathways
Registrations for the 2019 program are now open. Registrations will close on the 1st March 2019.
