Beam has an active and ever-evolving Ambassador program based on locality, interests, and skillsets. It is a way to show appreciation for the community members that take their passion for Beam to the next level.

There are several different ways ambassadors contribute to Beam, and this is something that will continue to grow, and be improved upon into the future.

With the Governance of Beam shifting to the Foundation, it is coming to the time for the Beam ambassador program to also push forward.

What’s in the Box

With this in mind, we are making some changes to the ambassador program to increase the collaborative impact we all have within the communities.

We are widening the scope for contribution and participation in the program to have four main focuses depending on what Ambassadors are passionate about adding to the ecosystem.

Those good at conveying ideas and communicating with people will be able to thrive as Meet-up Organisers.

This is an integral way to increase awareness and engage with the Beam community in person. It’s so far been our primary focus and has seen us having meetups across the Globe, with our most recent ones in Istanbul, Chengdu, and Seoul.

Meetups are a great way to interact with the Beam community and bring new members in, but we realize there are many other ways to add value through contribution.

For this reason, we are encouraging those excited about online chats, keeping everyone up to date with the news, and keeping the community engaged, to act as great Beam Moderators.

For community members with a creative streak, we are thrilled to have a focus on being a star Content Creator. Finally, the linguists among us can help bring Beam to the world as Translators.

Below gives an overview of the expectations for Ambassadors to meet in the relevant focus.

Beam Moderators are people live and breath online and love to engage and maintain an active and safe community. We have all sorts of channels for mods, from discord to Telegram, with tech chats, price chats, and those that are language-specific. Being an active member, and building the community is something that Beam Mods are passionate about.

What will you need to do?

You must know your way around the relevant platform to keep everything tidy and have a right attitude and vibe in the community
You must be visibly active and engaged with the community daily
Already existing Beam Moderators must agree that you are a suitable fit for the relevant channel
The Beam community team will check out and review your engagement levels, and platform metrics such as Twitter followers, Reddit Karma, to ensure you are fit for the extra responsibility

With these new focuses, we hope to open the door for more contributions, greater collaboration and support, and an all-round stronger community and Ambassador program. If you are highly motivated, passionate about crypto and privacy, and excited by Beams implementation of Mimblewimble, we want you!
