Kindness Ambassador Volunteers
Kindness Ambassadors help facilitate access to the playground and promote kindness and inclusivity, making Magical Bridge Playgrounds a welcoming place for all ages. Dedicate some time to interact with visitors, answer general questions, promote playground safety and support family-friendly events!
Adult Kindness Ambassadors
Begin your volunteer experience by completing the requirements below! The role of a kindness ambassador involves a large degree of autonomy and authority. We ask that all Ambassadors follow this onboarding process.
