- Making the festival as accessible as possible
- Becoming a volunteer yourself
Notable Moments:
Going through the selections process (Tiffany)
Our ambassadors are a group of incredibly dedicated volunteers that devote hours of their lives to TRF, no matter what time of year it is. With the importance they hold not only to us, but to our community as well, each ambassador goes through an application and selection process, which Tiffany now gets to have an impactful role in as our new coordinator.
“They're all very involved, and what an amazing crowd.”
Getting to take charge of ambassadors (Tiffany)
As a new addition to our TRF family, Tiffany is incredibly excited to take on a leadership role in an amazing group of passionate volunteers. From selecting ambassadors to coordinating events, she loves that her and her marketing team (Marketing Refresh) can help ambassadors get the word out about TRF and the incredible things we do for our community.
“I would say that they're our boots on the ground throughout the festival.”
Gathering new patrons through events (Brandy)
After four years of being an ambassador, Brandy is incredibly knowledgeable about everything ambassadors get to do for our festival and the community we are dedicated to helping. From showing up at community events to organizing charitable drives to help those in need, ambassadors like Brandy tell new people about us all the time, all year round.
“We all just love it and so anywhere we go, we’re all wearing our shirts and talking about it.”
Giving back to the community in a big way (Brandy)
TRF is so important to Brandy because of the opportunity that it provides her to be involved in such an inclusive environment. One of Brandy’s passions as a teacher certified in ASL is helping the hard of hearing and deaf community participate in festival events through organizations like ASL Faires TX.
“It just feels like a special, magical place that you just want to come back to.”
