That’s Not Cool Ambassadors Program

We’re looking for a few good teens to join us as official That’s Not Cool Ambassadors. This is a unique opportunity to raise awareness on an issue that affects friends, family, and the community at large while having some fun in the process.

That’s Not Cool uses examples of pressure and control that occur in the digital world (online and via cell phone) to encourage young people to draw their own lines about what’s okay, or not okay, in relationships. Members of the That’s Not Cool Ambassadors team will gain valuable experience, national exposure, and meaningfully contribute to this award-winning initiative. Ambassador posts are open to boys and girls, age 13-19.

As a That’s Not Cool Ambassador, you’ll have the opportunity to

• Provide valuable feedback on new concepts for That’s Not Cool.
• Organize activities to raise awareness of digital dating abuse and That’s Not Cool.
• Contribute your unique voice through blog posts, social media, videos, etc.
• Engage with other Ambassadors from across the country.
• Add skills and experience to your resume.

Ambassadors must be:

• Collaborative and flexible, enthusiastic, and energetic.
• Available for occasional conference calls. Reachable via e-mail or Facebook and phone.
• Strong leaders.
• Interested in online social networking.
