The Speakers Bureau is composed of present and former participants who want to develop their communication skills and use those skills to promote our agency. These women, our Ambassadors, attend ongoing communication workshops and are ready to share their stories publicly, relating just how Project Hope programs helped them attain their educational, career, and financial goals.
Speaking Engagements
Tanya, a Project Hope Ambassador, gives an
inspirational speech at a fundraising breakfast.
Project Hope Ambassadors are available to travel to various venues in the greater Boston area to speak about their growth and development at Project Hope. May we suggest a luncheon with a group of Ambassadors or a keynote speech by one of the women at your next Board or Staff meeting? Or create a Community Engagement Project at your Company by encouraging families to donate Gift Cards to families-in-need or participating in our Life Tool Kit project. An Ambassador could prepare the way for such an endeavor.
If you are interested in requesting an Ambassador for an upcoming Speaking Engagement, please email ambassadors@prohope.org with the date, time, and type of event where you would like an ambassador(s).
Volunteer Opportunities for Groups and Individuals
1) Volunteer to lead Ambassadors in a workshop on a communication topic of your choice
Workshops on communication topics such as body language, writing presentations, tone, active listening, conversation skills, etc. are held approximately every 6 weeks, typically on Thursday from 6-8PM or Saturday from 10-12. We are able to add special workshops to this schedule, if needed. Project Hope Speakers Bureau staff will work closely with volunteers to assist in the preparation and presentation of the workshop.
2) Volunteer to host a practice event for the Ambassadors
This is a group volunteer opportunity for 5-15 volunteers that can take place at Project Hope or at another appropriate venue. At the "practice event" your volunteer group will listen to the women’s presentations and engage them with questions in small groups. After the presentations, your group will provide feedback to the women on their public speaking skills. We do ask that, as hosts, you cover any related expenses.
