Description

**Download Your Ambassador Badge** The Hopeful Cities® Ambassador badge certifies that the recipient has completed the official Hopeful Cities Ambassador Training, a 35-minute course and 45-question certification assessment, and is equipped to bring the science and skills of Hope to their community. Hope is a skill that can be taught, and Ambassadors are trained to share it widely. The training covers Hope Science and the Shine Hope framework, the 90/90/90 goal, Hope in the workplace, the meaning of the sunflower, and how to activate a community as part of the Hopeful Cities movement. As leaders in the movement, Ambassadors help spread Hope through awareness campaigns, community engagement, and everyday action, building places where everyone knows how to Hope. Ambassador training is available to individuals in communities that have joined the Hopeful Cities movement.
