Ambassador Program
Help Connect the Parkinson’s Community with Support
The Neuro Challenge Foundation Ambassador Program gives volunteers a meaningful way to raise awareness of PD, share trusted resources, and connect more people with Neuro Challenge’s free programs and services.
Ambassadors are official volunteer representatives of Neuro Challenge who help bridge the gap between the community and the support available to people living with PD and their care partners.
Ambassadors do not provide medical advice, counseling, or mentoring. Their role is to share information, raise awareness, and connect people with Neuro Challenge resources across Southwest Florida, including Sarasota, Manatee, Pinellas, Highlands, Marion, and Charlotte counties.

Ambassadors support Neuro Challenge in flexible volunteer roles based on their interests, experience, and availability.
You may help by:
- Sharing information about Neuro Challenge programs
- Representing Neuro Challenge at events
- Connecting people with PD resources
Visiting medical offices and community partners - Supporting programs and attendance
