Neighborhood Ambassador Program
What Does It Mean to Be a Neighborhood Ambassador?
Becoming a Fire Adapted Nevada Neighborhood Ambassador is an exciting way to take action and help your community become fire adapted. A fire adapted community understands its wildfire risk and works together before, during, and after a fire to reduce wildfire risk.
As a Neighborhood Ambassador, you’ll be part of a statewide network of passionate individuals working to connect neighbors with trusted wildfire education, expert partners, and resources for mitigation projects. You’ll also serve as a key contact for local firefighting agencies and community preparedness efforts—helping to build a stronger, fire-ready neighborhood.
What You’ll Do as a Neighborhood Ambassador:
- Lead community outreach in fun and creative ways, bringing enthusiasm and collaboration to wildfire preparedness efforts
- Access potential funding (when available) for larger neighborhood wildfire mitigation projects
- Receive support from Fire Adapted Nevada staff to update or create a Community Wildfire Protection Plan
- Join a network of other Ambassadors through workshops, trainings, and bi-monthly meetings focused on fire adaptation and resilience
What’s Required?
- No prior expertise in wildfire or firefighting is needed! Just a passion for protecting your neighborhood from wildfire
- Complete an initial volunteer orientation and continuing informal education
- Sign a liability waiver and fill out a Volunteer Commitment Form
- Report volunteer hours
Support You’ll Receive
The Living With Fire and Fire Adapted Nevada partners will provide:
- Technical assistance and training
- Educational materials and expert referrals
- Networking opportunities with other Ambassadors
As a Neighborhood Ambassador, you represent Fire Adapted Nevada—leading with a positive, friendly, and non-confrontational approach to engage and empower your community.
