The Ambassador Program - The Program - Page 1 - Wattpad. The aim of the program is to encourage a fun and engaged community that support the millions of Wattpadders that read and write here everyday.
How It Works: The program has four cycles that last three months each. Each cycle we recruit and train new Ambassadors from all over the world to join the team which is constantly growing. At the end of each cycle, current Ambassadors who do not wish to continue in the role graduate, and move out of the program to become Alumni. Within the program, there are three main teams an Ambassador can choose from, depending on what they are most passionate about doing.
The Teams: Content - Passionate about all things content.
