Genesis Ambassadors are carefully selected supporters who are dedicated and committed to The Genesis Appeal.

Our ultimate goal is to enlist passionate people in every village, town and city who can spread our message and raise vital funds from within their local communities.

This is a volunteer position which could be a great challenge and exciting experience. Responsibility can also be delegated as you can create a dependable committee to assist you with your work. Your committee members can be referred to as 'Friends of Genesis'.

Additionally by encouraging groups, clubs, schools and companies in your area to support the Genesis Appeal, targets can be reached and community spirit highlighted.

The public and media attention would be most rewarding
