Avondale College Needs You!

Avondale College needs your help to establish an ambassador program in local Seventh-day Adventist churches in Australia and New Zealand.

The program will see Avondale representatives promoting the college in their local congregations.

This is something that you can be involved in if you're interested--it's not hard to get involved and if you have a passion for Avondale College, you might be just what they're looking for.

Ambassadors should show enthusiasm for Avondale College, a passion for promoting Christian education, an interest in young adults, and a willingness to communicate news about Avondale College.

"Church pastors are generally too busy to share much information about Avondale, so we'll be searching for volunteers who not only have the time but the passion as well," says Dr Allen Steele, assistant to the president for advancement.

The program is an initiative of the College's Advancement Office, which is adopting a plan recommended by The President's Circle (the President's Circle is a group of Adventists who advise, promote and coordinate support for the college).

Third-year communication student Nadine Clark, who is establishing the project as part of her studies, is inviting members of each local Adventist church in Australia and New Zealand to nominate one person who could serve as an Avondale ambassador.

"It could be one of your relatives or someone who's studied at college before who would find satisfaction in supporting students in this way," says Ms Clark. "The ambassadors will be volunteers, so we're after people who'll be driven by their passion for Christian education," says Ms Clark. "They need to want to do it."

Contact Dr Steele on (02) 4980 2294 or email allen.steele@avondale.edu.au to nominate an ambassador, or if you're interested and want more information.
