Coffee Roulette

What is it?

Coffee Roulette offers Campaign Ambassadors an opportunity to connect with each other through virtual meet-ups. At the start of each month, we’ll match you and put you in touch with your partner to organise your virtual coffee-meet by the end of the month. This will help you expand your network, grow your skills and increase your confidence. You can unsubscribe at any time.

How does it work?

Each month, you'll receive an email matching you with a fellow Campaigns Ambassador. It’s up to the two of you to arrange a convenient time for your virtual coffee meeting. We recommend keeping these to around 30 minutes.
