 Our ambassadors

Our ambassadors countrywide are the beating heart of Trans Vanguard. They are our strength. They are what define us. And they help make the world a safer and more peaceful place every single day.

Ambassadors` volunteering has been a part of our network since we were founded 2017. To this day, voluntary service—helping others without desire for personal gain—remains one of our fundamental principles guiding everything we do.

Our ambassadors are also involved in activities such as:

• Supporting isolated communities
• Providing comfort and care to people on the move
• Leading community health campaigns so people know how to live long and healthy lives
• Search and rescue efforts and reuniting families in the wake of a disaster
• Running youth programmes
• And much, much more.

Beyond delivering services, our ambassadors play a vital role improving community resilience and unity. They also advocate fiercely on behalf of vulnerable people. The scale and scope of what they undertake and achieve every day across the country is amazing.
