Become a HUG Ambassador

If you love HUG, consider volunteering for our most important job — helping others find friends and letting the world know why we need to include people with special needs. That’s what you’ll do as a HUG Ambassador. You will be our representative in the community.
.
All HUG Ambassadors receive a HUG t-shirt, swag and flyers to give to anyone you meet who may need help making friends. Plus, you can even star in your own “mini-commercial” about why inclusion is so important! Meet a few rockstar Ambassadors in the videos below.

We’re not gonna lie: volunteering for HUG is a straight shot of joy right to the heart. We host a lot of events, and we need a lot of help. If you want to join us as a volunteer, we’d love to hear from you.
