Ambassador Program
Source: docs/global-south/ambassadors.md
Generated: 01/09/2026
Community leaders distribute JoinGrove tutorials, campus kits, and localized support across the Global South.
Key Concepts
- What: The ambassador program connects bootcamps, user groups, and health-tech communities with offline tutorial packs and PPP cohort pricing.
- Why: Grassroots distribution via WhatsApp, Telegram, and USB reaches developers who never visit a product website.
- Related: Global South overview (
overview.md), share tutorial (share-whatsapp.md), governance (../enterprise/governance.md).
