The Stellar Ambassador Program empowers individuals who are passionate about Stellar to 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 program is open participation, and designed to support the diverse set of contributors and collaborators required for the Stellar ecosystem to thrive. To facilitate a welcoming and productive environment, all Ambassador Program participants are required to follow the Stellar Community Code of Conduct as well as agree to the SDF Privacy Policy and Terms of Service at all times. Additionally, those that serve as Ambassadors and/or Chapter Presidents must meet the Eligibility Requirements and agree to follow the SDF Brand Policy, and the Content and Events Policies as described and linked to below.
Failure to comply with any of the policies may lead to the revocation of privileges associated with the program, including but not limited to the ability to post on the Stellar Dev Discord, attend in-person events, receive support or funding of any kind and/or any other related privileges.
Relevant policies:
Regional ambassador chapters support initiatives and events that serve community members.

As part of the Ambassador Program, SDF maintains program resources, including a program information page and a program newsletter. While Ambassadors are encouraged to submit material to these program resources, they are maintained by SDF, and SDF exercises full editorial discretion when choosing how and when to accept submissions, what to publish or post, and when to reject, modify, or remove content.
In addition to these program resources, Chapters may create their own resources, including chapter pages, websites, blog posts, videos, and social media accounts, as well as presentations, workshops, and courses for in-person and virtual events.
These Chapter resources are the domain of the Chapter, and generally, they are created and maintained by the Chapter President, or by others to whom the Chapter President delegates responsibility. SDF does not independently review, validate, or verify the information contained in those resources, and assumes no liability or responsibility for any errors, mistakes, omissions, or inaccuracies they may contain. Any views or opinions expressed on those resources are solely those of the resource owner, and do not represent the views or opinions of SDF. **
That said, in order to ensure Chapters provide consistent and high-quality information and experiences, there are common standards Ambassadors are expected to follow — and that Chapter Presidents are expected to enforce — when creating, publishing, or sharing content related to the Ambassador Program.

Content should not under any circumstances:
All content should also follow the Stellar Community Code of Conduct and the Stellar Development Foundation Brand Policy.
Events, like other Chapter content, are the domain of the Chapter, and it is the Chapter President's responsibility to select which events to fund, and to work with event hosts to ensure that they follow the content guidelines above.
In addition to any specific processes determined by the Chapter President, Ambassadors should follow best practices when applying to host or hosting events. Generally:
In general, the events, content, and initiatives chapters host, publish, and offer should not target any national, provincial, state, local, or municipal governments or government officials, or any governmental or quasi-governmental entities or organizations (including state-owned, or partially state-owned businesses or non-governmental organizations).
