What we’re about
Indianapolis Ambassadors is a group civic-minded individuals who share a goal of helping others and the community of Indianapolis through volunteerism, and of meeting new people with similar interests. In addition to the many volunteer events our members may sign up for, we also offer many social and educational events. We also hold monthly meetings in various interesting locations throughout the city, featuring a short talk from a guest speaker as well as announcements and opportunities to sign up for our events. Our ages range from 21 to 70+, with the most common age group being 50-somethings. Our website is at http://www.indyambassadors.org/
Upcoming events (4+)
See all- General Meeting at the Indy Reads BookstoreIndy Reads Bookstore, Indianapolis, IN
All are invited. Indy Reads is a literacy nonprofit organization that offers adults classes where they can learn to improve their English learning, language, and literacy skills, as well as their high school equivalency diplomas and workforce credentials.
Adult literacy education helps break the cycle of intergenerational poverty, opening the door for adults to navigate daily challenges, access employment, pursue higher education, make informed decisions about health and well-being, and actively engage in civic life.
As a volunteer with Indy Reads, you will make a difference for our students every day. Whether you serve in a Community Classroom (virtual or in-person), in our community bookstore in Fountain Square, or as a one-time Day of Service participant, your time and talent will have a vital impact as we strive for 100% literacy for all.
Afterward, the group is invited to join up for refreshments for our 'Out After' at Upland FSQ Brewery.Parking at and around Indy Reads
