Student Ambassadors

Student Ambassadors are the on-campus operators of the Flarehub network. They run meetups, workshops, and builder clubs at universities.

The goal is to turn existing engineering and design talent into Flare-native builders with real proof-of-work.

Who can be an ambassador

  • Students currently enrolled at a university or similar institution.
  • People already organising or active in tech clubs, hackathons, or dev communities.
  • Contributors with at least basic proof-of-work on Flarehub (e.g. a bounty, event support, or content).

Responsibilities

  • Host recurring events (meetups, study groups, mini-hackathons).
  • Promote Flarehub programmes to students (bounties, Hacker Houses, Instagrants).
  • Help participants log their proof-of-work and connect with mentors.
  • Share recaps, photos, and outcomes so others can learn from your campus.

Funding tranches

To manage risk and reward performance, ambassador budgets typically arrive in tranches:

  1. Tranche 1: First meetup
    • Approx. $50–$100 equivalent for snacks, room booking, and simple materials.
    • Requirements to unlock:
      • Basic event plan (topic, date, expected attendees).
      • Post-event recap with photos and a short write-up.
  2. Tranche 2: Workshops or mini-hackathon
    • Approx. $200–$500 equivalent for a deeper event or series.
    • Requirements:
      • Clear agenda and learning outcomes.
      • Participant sign-in and at least a few shipped artefacts (repos, demos, or content).
  3. Tranche 3: Ongoing builder club
    • Larger, recurring budgets for clubs that consistently ship.
    • Requirements:
      • Track record of hackathon participation and wins.
      • Regular updates on projects, partnerships, and Community GDP contribution.

Exact amounts, currencies, and requirements may vary by region and budget cycle.

Support and resources

Ambassadors receive access to:

  • A "Club in a Box" kit (see Student Builder Pack).
  • A direct contact in programme ops for questions and approvals.
  • Mentors for technical and career guidance.

Application process

  1. Collect proof-of-work that shows you can execute (on or off Flarehub).
  2. Submit an ambassador application with:
    • Your campus details and existing club affiliations.
    • Past events you have helped run.
    • Your plan for the next semester.
  3. If accepted, you will receive onboarding, initial funding details, and reporting templates.

Disclaimers

  • Ambassador status is not employment; it is a voluntary leadership role with limited stipends or budgets.
  • You are responsible for following your institution’s policies and local laws when hosting events.
  • Funding amounts and availability are subject to change.

Next steps

  • Students: start by running a small meetup or study group and documenting it as proof-of-work.
  • Existing club leaders: map your current activities to Flarehub programmes and identify where support would help.
  • Stewards: prioritise ambassadors who already show initiative and can demonstrate responsible event execution.
