We’ve brought together CLT activists to shout about the movement
We all know how much change CLTs can transform their communities in so many ways.
But to many, it’s still a bit of a secret.
That’s why we’ve trained a group of CLT champions who understand the magic of CLTs to speak at your events and to the press.
The benefits of booking an ambassador
EXTRA CLOUT
CLTs are inspiring to many, but getting started can also be daunting. Hearing others speak of their own experiences and how they are making their plans a reality is powerful.
Whether there are few CLTs in your area to draw on, or you want to mix it up — a CLT Ambassador fits the bill.
DIVERSE VOICES
Every community is diverse and it’s important that CLTs are genuinely representative and inclusive. Events are a great way to provide a platform for different voices.
Our CLT Ambassadors come from across the country and are diverse in terms of their backgrounds and experiences. They are raring to spread the word and help grow the movement.
DRIVE CHANGE TOGETHER
For more people to know about and understand what CLTs are, more people need to be championing them.
This is an opportunity to grow the CLT ecosystem and work together to mainstream CLTs. The CLT Ambassadors care deeply and have been professionally trained to showcase the movement.
