Join the 2011 Kokoda Trek

The White Ribbon Kokoda Trek has become a highlight of our Fundraising calendar, with Chairman Andrew O'Keefe joining a group of supporters in previous years.
In 2011, we'll be making the trek again. Would you like to join?

Find out more about the 10 day Kokoda Trek in April 2011, here.

What can Ambassadors do?

Ambassadors support the campaign by...

• Wearing a White Ribbon or wristband in the lead-up to White Ribbon Day and encouraging others to do the same;
• Sharing the White Ribbon message with their local communities, particularly in rural and regional areas where White Ribbon may not otherwise have a presence;
• Nominating other suitable men as Ambassadors;
• Talking about their role as an Ambassador with colleagues and friends, highlighting the importance of respect for women and attitude change;
• Attending events in their local community, either as a speaker or a guest with the support of White Ribbon’s Ambassador Program Manager;
• Hosting awareness raising events and fundraising activities with their personal networks throughout the year, particularly around White Ribbon Day;
• Encouraging community groups, local councils, workplaces, men’s organisations, sports and services clubs to buy and distribute White Ribbons;
• Organising presentations in their workplaces, sporting and recreational groups with the support of White Ribbon’s Ambassador Program Manager;
• Utilising personal contacts to extend the White Ribbon campaign message.
• Speaking on Behalf of the White Ribbon Campaign at Community Events Some White Ribbon Ambassadors are available to speak at community events, particularly on or around White Ribbon Day. 

Please note that all White Ribbon Ambassadors lend their time in a volunteer capacity. Whilst we endeavor to match an Ambassador to all speaking or event requests, this is subject to their availability.

If you would like a speaker for your event, please fill-in the online event registration form, available here, and send to Paul McGlew, Ambassador Program Manager at paul.mcglew@whiteribbon.org.au.
