The initiative aims to bring AsyncAPI closer to both current and potential new project users in the student community. It also aims to provide users and community members with the necessary tools and resources to: + +- Promote user cooperation and disseminate the necessary tools to any specific user. +- Engage with the project in some way, either as a contributor, blogger, speaker, etc. +- Speak at community events or write technical content (i.e., blog posts) that solves community needs in various institutions. +- Nurture community growth and create a welcoming environment to spread knowledge about the project. + +### Difference between AsyncAPI Ambassador and AsyncAPI Student Ambassador +The AsyncAPI Ambassador and AsyncAPI Student Ambassador programs are both designed to promote and support the AsyncAPI initiative but cater to different audiences and have distinct roles, responsibilities, and requirements. AsyncAPI Ambassador is open to professionals or anyone passionate about the AsyncAPI initiative, while the AsyncAPI Student Ambassador program is geared towards students and recent graduates who are interested in sharing the AsyncAPI knowledge with their institution and alumni community. + + +### How does the program work? +The student ambassador selection process will be as transparent as possible. Similar to the existing ambassador program: + +- The model currently in place for adding members to the Ambassadors through PR will be used. +- The TSC or delegated maintainers of community repositories, will evaluate applications according to compliance requirements via a traditional PR flow. +- All student ambassador information will be displayed on the AsyncAPI website in a list after the PR is merged. +- The program has the team tag `@asyncapi/student-ambassadors` to notify ambassadors on GitHub + +### Student Ambassador requirements + +Participation will be determined and checked annually. These are the requirements for being a student ambassador: + +- Be an active member of the community. +- Be a student or be part of any student alumni club +- Must have completed any of the mentorship programs, either GSOC or AsyncAPI Mentorship program +- Have a good understanding of AsyncAPI tools and specifications. +- Have an interest in mentoring others. +- Enthusiastic about teamwork and collaboration +- Passionate about people, specifically the members, and how to support them. +- Accept the AsyncAPI (code of conduct)[https://github.com/asyncapi/.github/blob/master/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md] + +Ambassadors can be invited to review content (i.e., articles, talks, videos) related to the community. These reviews are optional and will be counted as additional contributions. + +Some clarifications on the type of contributions: + +- Articles, videos, and podcasts can be published on [asyncapi.com/blog](https://www.asyncapi.com/blog) or other domains. +- Talks and presentations can be displayed at different events or workshops. Within it, AsyncAPI should appear at the core of the presentation. The presentation would never be used as a disguised marketing tool for other products/projects. +- Special contributions should be driven to support the community or enhance its visibility (i.e., getting new sponsors or driving initiatives) +- If we did not identify the contributions, just let us know. + +### Student Ambassador Structure + +School Leaders: These are ambassadors leading all the developers in their schools. They coordinate the regular school activities regarding the AsyncAPI need + + +Skill-Based Team Leads: These are ambassadors leading different skill-based teams, such as design team leads, content team leads, etc. The ambassadors in these teams are responsible for their team leads. + +AsycAPI Community Manager: Ultimately, ambassadors are directly under the AsyncAPI Ambassadors Program.
