What is an Ambassador, and how do I become one?

• An ambassador is someone who is passionate about growing the game of chess within their community by leading their club and organizing events. 
• You support Chess.com’s values of bringing chess to the world in a fun, positive way!
• You’re excited to build your resume, build relationships, and find new ideas to get people to play chess online and across your campus.
