Your place on this team.
Bring a skill, an introduction, or a few hours a month. There is useful work to do here.
Bring the next athlete into the game.
Ambassadors are athletes, coaches, and connectors who grow adaptive sports where they live. Juan Ortiz is our first.
Meet our ambassadors
What you would be joining.
Built around participation
A recognized 501(c)(3) expanding access to adaptive sports so athletes can find their place.
A scope, not a shift
Every role has a defined job and a person to work with. If we cannot say what done looks like, we will not ask for your time.
Flexible contributions
Two hours in an evening is a real contribution. For events and coaching, we agree on a time together.
You hear back either way
A person reads every one. If there is no fit now, we say so.
Money, and the people who move it.
Making the Hustle & Heart Fund bigger than one person’s checkbook.
