# Stellar Ambassador Program

The Stellar Ambassador Program supports builders and educators who are passionate about Stellar as they form regional chapters, organize local events, lead educational initiatives, and connect developers, businesses, and users with the resources necessary to build on the network.

#### **The Ambassador Program was created to:**

* **Educate:** Equip communities with the knowledge to build on Stellar, teach developers how to deploy smart contracts, and create resources in multiple languages to serve builders all over the world.
* **Nurture:** Foster a vibrant and inclusive Stellar community, welcome and support ecosystem participants of all kinds, and encourage participation in the Stellar Community Fund.
* **Connect:** Help innovators find one another, allow teams to interact with potential users, and share ideas via events and social media to celebrate local activations and contributions
* **Build:** Collaborate to identify local problems, create solutions tailored to address local challenges, and align to drive transformation.
