What is the Community Ambassador Program?
In 2024, we’re looking to empower collectors to connect with others in the community by giving the Candy MLB Community the chance to become a Community Ambassador and host their own FamJam, contest, or virtual event. Community Ambassadors can receive special perks such as a special Discord role, baseball tickets, discount codes, and referral credits for new collector onboarding resulting from their events.
What does a Community Ambassador do and how will Candy be involved?
A Community Ambassador is someone who is passionate about growing the community and voluntarily runs an in-person meet-up, online contest or virtual event. Candy will support selected Ambassadors by working with them to bring their events to life, including by spreading the word, offering reimbursements for in-person events, and providing rewards for contests.
What does Candy look for when selecting Community Ambassadors?
A Community Ambassador will be a leader of the community, and as such, Candy expects Ambassadors to represent themselves in a professional and thoughtful manner, in accordance with the following pillars:
- Diversity: The Candy Digital community represents a variety of nationalities, identities, and ethnicities, and we aim for our Community Ambassadors to reflect this diversity.
- Professionalism, Integrity, and Character Excellence: As leaders of the Candy community, Community Ambassadors will be held to high standards of respect, honesty, and kindness in their interactions. They should refrain from discussions or use of tools that may provide unfair advantages.
- Safety: Community Ambassadors must prioritize the safety of their events. Ambassadors selected to host in-person events should ensure that their events are in public places and include common-sense practices to facilitate safety of attendees.
- Promotion of Positivity: Communities flourish under positive leadership, emphasizing strengths over weaknesses. While Community Ambassadors have the liberty to offer feedback, it must be done professionally and constructively, without targeting employees of Candy. Harassment is not accepted in digital communities and at events.

For Community Participants:
Here are a few things to keep in mind when participating in community contests and events:
- Your participation is voluntary! You are not required to attend events or participate in contests. Community contests will not count towards your Candy League score
- Community Ambassadors and event attendees are expected to follow Candy’s Community Code of Conduct. Excessive FUD or harassment towards other collectors or Candy employees may result in disciplinary action
- Your safety is our top priority. Use your discretion when participating in Community-led events. Candy assumes no liability for any loss, damage or injury arising from a Community-led event.
- In the case of rewards, they will be shipped or airdropped within 90 days of the contest ending
