Welcome to your role as Ambassador Program Co-Chair!
This page is private and reserved for our verified Co-Chairs. Here you’ll find your role recap, responsibilities, and resources to guide Ambassadors and support the success of the program.
As a Co-Chair for the Neuromatch Ambassador Program, you’ll help oversee and support our Ambassadors as they represent Neuromatch Academy or Climatematch Academy on their campuses and online. This is a leadership-focused volunteer role, perfect for alumni, TAs, Mentors, or other engaged members of our community who want to provide guidance, encouragement, and ownership over a global outreach program.
September 2025 – April 2026
- Serve as a primary point of contact for Ambassadors, answering questions and offering guidance.
- Coordinate and host key program events.
- Encourage and support Ambassadors in their outreach activities.
- Track progress toward Gold Ambassador status and distribute certificates/badges.
- Liaise with Neuromatch staff and volunteers to share updates, insights, and challenges
- Promote a positive, inclusive, and motivating environment within the Ambassador Slack channel.
- Track program metrics to help evaluate the program.
- Leadership and program management experience.
- A stronger professional network across Neuromatch and Climatematch.
- Direct impact on the success of a global outreach program.
- The chance to support volunteers in thriving and making a difference.
- A meaningful role in advancing equitable, high-quality computational science education worldwide.
- When planning a meeting we often use When2Meet to gather what time would work best for people.
- If Muriah can attend, she can set up the meeting and provide the Zoom link. If not, Courtney can work on getting you access to a shared Zoom account. Alternately, you can also start meetings in Slack (people go to channel at given time/date and you start the meeting/"huddle" in that channel) but this hasn't been as common in Neuromatch.
- When we share the meeting in the channel, it's best to share the time in UTC and share a link to Event Time Announcer so that people can see what it is in their time zone.
- Best practices for meeting:
- Have a goal for the meeting; what do you want to achieve? what decisions need to be made?
- Have an agenda and share before! Have some room at the end for attendees to ask questions or bring up issues.
- Report back to the wider channel for people who can't attend. This can be done in the Ambassador Slack channel.
