Ambassadors play an essential role in extending the reach of DEP DAOs by connecting activities to wider communities, organizations, and audiences.

This page explains the Ambassador role - what being an Ambassador means, how Ambassadors contribute, and how they receive recognition.

Note: If an Ambassador is also a DAO Member (Internal Ambassador), their DAO Member responsibilities follow the “Participant Commitments & Scope of Work” page. Here, we describe only the additional Ambassador scope.

1. Overview: What Is an Ambassador in DEP 2?

Ambassadors help DAOs:

• Promote activities 
• Expand participation 
• Connect with institutions, partners, or communities 
• Support regeneration outreach 
• Share learning opportunities 
• Bridge local and global contributors 

Ambassadors strengthen DEP’s multi-stakeholder ecosystem.

There are two types:

1. Internal Ambassadors – DAO Members who take on the additional role of Ambassador 
2. External Ambassadors – Community Collaborators who support the DAO from outside 

Both types contribute to ecosystem growth and receive recognition.

2. Internal Ambassadors

(DAO Members who add the Ambassador role)

Internal Ambassadors are official DEP participants (DAO Members) who take on additional outreach and community-building responsibilities on top of their normal DAO duties.

2.1 Role Scope - Additional Responsibilities

Internal Ambassadors help:

• Promote DAO sessions, events, or creative activities 
• Connect the DAO with schools, clubs, organizations, or communities 
• Support regeneration activities (introductions, fundraising events, membership pilots) 
• Invite users/participants to join 1–1 CED sessions or creative activities 
• Represent the DAO in local or online communities 
• Encourage cross-DAO collaboration 

These responsibilities are additional, not replacements for DAO Member duties.

2.2 KAT Recognition

Internal Ambassadors receive extra symbolic KAT for Ambassador work for contributions such as:

• Community Contribution 
• Regeneration Contribution 
• Outreach / Ecosystem Support 

This is separate from KAT they earn as DAO Members.

2.3 Certificates

Internal Ambassadors receive:

• DEP Participant Certificate (as DAO Members) 
• Ambassador Certificate (for the ambassadorial role) 

This clearly distinguishes the two types of recognition.

3. External Ambassadors

(Community Collaborators contributing from outside the DAO)

External Ambassadors are not DAO Members. They support the DAO in specific outreach, promotion, or collaboration tasks.

3.1 Role Scope

External Ambassadors may:

• Share DAO activities with their networks 
• Connect the DAO with external communities 
• Support regeneration outreach 
• Bring participants to sessions (especially Exchange DAO) 
• Share creative or cultural opportunities (C&C DAO) 
• Help run public-facing campaigns 
• Promote DAO outputs and events 

Their contribution is flexible, limited-scope, and task-based.

3.2 KAT Recognition

External Ambassadors do receive symbolic KAT, for:

• Community Contribution 
• Regeneration Contribution 
• Ecosystem Engagement 

3.3 Certificates

External Ambassadors receive an Ambassador Certificate, acknowledging their support and contribution.

3.4 Limitations

External Ambassadors:

• Do not attend weekly DAO meetings 
• Do not participate in Working Groups 
• Do not vote 
• Do not take on operational or governance roles 

They contribute in a flexible, autonomous way.

5. Why Become an Ambassador?

Ambassadors:

• Expand the reach of social-impact projects 
• Help bring learning, creativity, and connection to more people 
• Support regeneration and community engagement 
• Strengthen the multi-stakeholder ecosystem 
• Contribute to shaping the identity of Kambria DAOs 
• Receive meaningful symbolic recognition (KAT + certificates) 
• May be prioritized for future leadership or cohort opportunities 

Ambassadors play a crucial role in co-creating a caring, regenerative, global community.
