Purpose

This outlines what RunsForAll expects from Ambassadors and what Ambassadors can expect from us. Ambassadors are trusted representatives of RunsForAll in their community, and these expectations help keep that trust consistent across the program. Local Ambassadors are recruited by a Core Ambassador — the paid regional lead responsible for growing pickup basketball in their area — and represent that region locally.

Core Responsibilities

• Host runs regularly. Aim to host or co-host at least 2 runs per month to keep the local community active.

• Show up reliably. If you commit to hosting a run, follow through. If you can’t make it, give as much notice as possible so the run can be reassigned or rescheduled.

• Set the tone. Lead by example on fair play, inclusivity, and good sportsmanship. Runs you host should be welcoming to players of all skill levels.

• Welcome new players. Help new users feel comfortable, answer questions about the app, and make introductions where you can.

• Represent the brand. When speaking about RunsForAll publicly (in person or online), represent it accurately and positively.

• Share feedback. Pass along what you’re hearing from players, hosts, and your local community so we can keep improving the app.

Conduct Standards

• Treat all players, hosts, and community members with respect, regardless of skill level, background, or experience.

• Do not use your Ambassador status to gain unfair advantages in runs (e.g., excluding players, manipulating teams).

• Resolve conflicts at runs calmly and fairly. Escalate serious issues to the RunsForAll team rather than handling them publicly.

• Keep communication professional and respectful, both in the app and on social media when representing RunsForAll.

Communication

• Stay active in the Ambassador group chat for updates, questions, and connecting with other Ambassadors.

• Respond to check-ins from the RunsForAll team within 1 week.

• Flag any issues at runs (safety concerns, disputes, no-shows, etc.) as soon as possible.

Status Review

Ambassador status is a privilege tied to ongoing trust and activity. We may periodically review participation, and Ambassadors who are inactive or do not meet these expectations may be moved off the program. Ambassadors can also step down at any time, no hard feelings.

Time Commitment

Roughly 2-4 hours a month - mainly hosting or co-hosting at least 2 runs per month (about 1-2 hours each), plus staying responsive in the Ambassador group chat and to occasional check-ins from the team.

Compensation

The Ambassador role is unpaid - there’s no guaranteed salary, hourly pay, or equity. In return, Ambassadors get:

• A verified Ambassador badge and Legacy Trust Card on your profile

• Early access to new features

• Free premium access to RunsForAll

A direct line to the team to help shape the product

These perks grow as you become a more active host — the more consistently you host runs, the more you unlock.

Core Ambassadors are paid, performance-based regional leads. Each Core Ambassador owns a region — a city, country, or community — and is responsible for growing pickup basketball there essentially from scratch.

Responsibilities

• Recruit and support Local Ambassadors in your region, helping them get set up and active.

• Host and co-host runs yourself, especially early on while the region is getting started.

• Assess what’s working in your region and adapt your approach — every region is different.

• Surface partnership, sponsorship, or institutional opportunities as they come up.

• Provide regular updates to the RunsForAll team on your region’s progress.

Time Commitment

A real part-time role with no guaranteed pay — earnings come entirely from the hosting activity you help generate in your region. Day-to-day, this means recruiting and checking in with Local Ambassadors, hosting your own runs, and staying responsive to the RunsForAll team.

Compensation

Core Ambassadors are paid based on the hosting activity their region produces — every host who signs up and keeps hosting runs (including the Core Ambassador’s own hosting) contributes to the region’s progress, and pay is tied to growth over time rather than a flat rate. There’s no clawback for normal month-to-month ups and downs. Core Ambassadors are domestic, paid in USD, and responsible for their own taxes as independent contractors.

Continuity

If a Core Ambassador steps down, their region’s progress and any Local Ambassadors carry over unchanged to a replacement — nothing is lost, and the new Core Ambassador picks up where the last one left off.
