• We agree as a community to center ourselves in Woolly’s guiding principles  as we continue to break through systems of oppression. We expect Ambassadors to uphold these core values in their conduct as well. Any comments or actions that go against Woolly Mammoth’s commitment to radical inclusivity will not be tolerated. 

• On an annual basis each Ambassador will have a one-on-one check-in with the Associate Director of Connectivity to review their experience of being an Ambassador for that season, to discuss which expectations were met, and to determine whether they want to continue with the program in the next season.
