Ambassador Applications
Ambassadors act as local research contributors, educational organizers, and representatives of the Atlas's research mission. They identify environmental issues, research applicable laws, contribute stories, and collaborate internationally.
No prior legal research experience is required. Applicants should demonstrate interest in environmental issues, willingness to learn, and the ability to complete a realistic research contribution.
