Become a GC Ambassador
Our Global Challenge (GC) Ambassadors are the vital connection between local community projects and A--D's global network. As a GC Ambassador, you’ll dedicate just one (voluntary) hour per week to amplify the impact of the A--D Global Challenge, inspire project submissions, co-create momentum and build meaningful partnerships, and help match community-driven projects with the resources they need to thrive.
Join us and help catalyze a collaborative architectural practice that serves the many—not just the privileged few.
Applications for the program is closed.
