Be a Project Legos Ambassador: One of Project Legos' strong-suits is its ability to facilitate environments where people come together and embark on a journey from awareness to responsibility in relation to the changes needed in our communities and society. Another strength of Project Legos is the people--especially you! PL does not have an extensive marketing or advertising budget by any means--our best marketing tool is word of mouth. Contact Mike Jackson at 612-353-6927 or mike@projectlegos.org for more information or to become a PL ambassador.
We will see to it that all PL ambassadors are given the proper tools to spread the word about PL to your friends, family, neighbors, associates, and more. Our goal is to get as many people as possible talking about PL to encourage them to do one or more of the following:
1. Coordinate a session/workshop for a group they are involved in
2. Encourage others to set-up a session or workshop
3. Volunteer
4. Make connections with other people/organizations
5. Become a financial or in-kind supporter
