About the project
Ambassador Program 2.0 is a leadership system for students who want to grow the tech ecosystem around them. Ambassadors run events, build local teams and open the door to technology careers for the people in their university and region.
The program runs on short leadership cycles, so the community keeps moving, keeps trying new formats and keeps finding people who are ready to lead. Strong communities are not built by titles but by active leaders, so every position is earned through activity, initiative and real impact.
Program structure
How you grow inside the community.
Four stages, each with its own scope of responsibility. You move forward by doing the work, not by waiting for a vacancy.

Leadership roles
Two roles that hold a chapter together.
- 01
Lead Ambassador
Leads the local chapter for a three-month term: plans and runs events, manages and mentors the volunteer team, keeps the link with the central team and grows local partnerships.
- 02
Vice Ambassador
A support role with real ownership: helps run events, coordinates volunteers, handles social media and outreach, steps in when the Lead is away and is first in line for the next term.
- 03
Volunteer
The foundation of every chapter. Volunteers help with events, online activity and outreach, and this is where the community sees who is ready for more.
- 04
Alumni
After the term you stay in the network as a mentor, an event advisor and a supporter of the ambassadors who come after you.
The role in practice
What the term asks of you.
Most of the work happens with people: your volunteers, your university and the students who have not found their way into tech yet. You organise events and community activities, lead and mentor volunteers, promote the community on social media, grow the local tech network and build partnerships inside the university. The commitment is 8 to 10 hours a week, and candidates are encouraged to spend at least a month as a volunteer first.
KPI system
The scorecard for one term.
To complete the term you close the minimum on every line. Top performers go further, and every extra result counts on the leaderboard.
- 01
Offline events
At least 1 per term: a workshop, tech talk, meetup or panel. Top performers run 2 to 3.
- 02
Community meetups
If a club already exists, 3 to 5 informal meetups: networking, study groups, peer learning. Top level is 6 and more.
- 03
Club creation
If there is no club yet, building one is the main contribution: form a group, agree with the university, launch the first meetup.
- 04
Online activities
At least 10 per term with your team, such as online meetups, 50 invitations to the LinkedIn group and posts about active volunteers.
- 05
Volunteer recruitment
At least 5 new volunteers per term, 10 and more for top performers. They become the ambassadors of the next cycles.
- 06
Local Telegram
Grow the local channel or create one: invite students, keep 8 to 12 posts a month, share events, resources and member wins.
- 07
LinkedIn branding
4 to 5 posts per term about events you ran, community impact, lessons learned and volunteering.
- 08
Monthly reporting
One short, honest report a month: activities, volunteer growth, challenges and suggestions.
- 09
Leadership transition
Two or three weeks before the term ends, find candidates, mentor your possible replacement and recommend the next ambassador.
Point system
Extra initiative is counted.
Points reflect real impact and are tracked on the IT Community leaderboard, requested through the leaderboard bot with proof attached. A submitted monthly report adds 2 points, three meaningful comments under community posts add 1.

What you take with you.

Issued to ambassadors who close the minimum KPI requirements of the term.
- 02

Alumni network
The term ends, the network does not.
