AMBASSADOR FAQs
What happens after I submit my application?
- Your application will be reviewed by VNTRbirds staff and the 2024-2025 Winter VNTRbirds Ambassadors will be announced by November 27th via email
What’s the difference between summer Ambassadors and winter Ambassadors?
- Summer Ambassadors play outside riding bikes, and Winter Ambassadors play outside skiing or snowboarding in the backcountry and at the resorts! We are currently only offering Ambassadorships based on the season.
Who will I work with?
- We are hoping to have at least two VNTRbirds Ambassadors from each “Colorado area” where we run events. This way, you have a teammate that is also part of your community! But the entire ambassador roster is your team!
How else can I get involved if I don’t want to commit the time to being an Ambassador?
- We’d love for you to volunteer with us! Reach out to Carrie Scheick, Ambassador Coordinator & Event Support, at [email protected] to join our volunteer list and learn about upcoming volunteer opportunitie
I wasn’t accepted as an Ambassador at this time. What does that mean?
- This is the first winter season we are introducing a reimagined Ambassador program, inspired by the original VIDA MTB Series Ambassador program. We are using this winter season as a pilot program and limiting the number of Ambassadors. We hope to grow the program in the future and encourage you to reapply! If you’d still like to get involved with VNTRbirds, we’d love for you to volunteer with us! Reach out to Carrie Scheick at [email protected] to join our volunteer list and learn more about upcoming volunteer opportunities.
