En-ROADS Climate Ambassadors
What is the Ambassador Program?
Why be an ambassador?
We developed the En-ROADS Climate Ambassador program as a way to support our most dedicated En-ROADS facilitators. Our team works closely with our Ambassadors to grow our network, run international events, and deliver crucial insights to decision-makers using the En-ROADS Climate Solutions Simulator. Together, we hope to inspire meaningful climate action in legislative halls, board rooms, communities, classrooms, and beyond.
The En-ROADS Climate Ambassador program provides you with a tangible opportunity to become a climate leader and lead engaging events in your field. We work hard to support our Ambassadors by leading interactive webinar sessions, creating supplementary materials, and promoting Ambassadors on our website and social media. Being certified as an En-ROADS Climate Ambassador is a credential you can leverage in your professional settings, and it can help you stand out as a climate leader. Beyond this, becoming an En-ROADS Climate Ambassador provides you with a chance to collaborate with others in the Ambassador network, expand your event audiences, and gain valuable leadership experience.
Become an Ambassador
The following steps outline what is necessary in order to apply to become an En-ROADS Climate Ambassador.
Sign up for the free “Mastering En-ROADS” training program. Learn at your own pace with video lessons, readings, quizzes, and peer connections, with the option to join weekly live sessions if available. The training prepares you to lead events using the En-ROADS simulator, covering event planning, facilitation tips, system dynamics, and more. The course takes about 8 weeks to complete, with 5-6 hours per week.
You can learn a lot by watching others lead events. We encourage you to watch at least two examples of an En-ROADS event being run. To do this, you can attend an event in-person, attend a virtual event, or watch an event recording. Also, we encourage you to learn by connecting with other Ambassadors-in-training via the community discussion boards on the training platform.
3. Run & Register En-ROADS Events
All Ambassadors-in-training will need to facilitate at least two En-ROADS events and register them on our website before applying. These can be sessions of the En-ROADS Workshop, Climate Action Simulation game, or Guided Assignment. If needed, these events can be small and casual with friends or family. Collect feedback from at least 5 participants so that you can improve your facilitation skills. You can use this feedback form (it will not be submitted formally).
If you feel confident in your understanding of the model and your ability to facilitate successful En-ROADS events, then it’s time to apply! Be sure to review the Outline of Expectations for En-ROADS Climate Ambassadors before submitting your application. We will review your application, and if you are accepted we will send you a certificate via email. At this point, you are officially an En-ROADS Climate Ambassador! If you are interested, we will add your profile to our Ambassadors’ bio page.
