We provide training to all Ambassadors, including e-learning, fundraising materials and toolkits to help you lead a successful campaign.

There will be in-person group training sessions in September, with potential to cover expenses.

You will have a Movember member dedicated to supporting Ambassadors throughout their journey and committed to providing you with advice, techniques, tools and materials to ensure you can fulfil your role as an Ambassador.

This will include:

  1. Early access to and inclusion in Movember events and activations

Training Sessions

We offer an in-person training day in London on the 6th September, and online session for those unable to attend.

The Ambassador role runs year-round, with the bulk of your involvement from September to December. Like all our dedicated Mo fundraisers, this is a voluntary position.

Your mental health is paramount to us, and if you ever feel that the additional responsibilities are becoming a burden, Movember encourages Ambassadors to take a break and ensure they are mentally well.
