Global Romania is an initiative by the Romanian United Foundation (RUF) that aims to build a global network of Romanians making positive contributions to the world. It invites Romanians from around the world to join a community focused on uniting the Romanian diaspora and creating a positive impact.

Global Romania Ambassadors are vital in networking, community building, and promoting RUF's global campaigns. They are individuals with a strong reputation, energetic, and committed to RUF's mission. Ambassadors work to connect their local communities with the Romanian diaspora and help advance the organization's goals.

The Global Romania Ambassador is a prestigious designation identifying diaspora changemakers who contribute to building vibrant Romanian Communities in major cities worldwide. Ambassadors are recognized members of the Global Romania network. While they have certain responsibilities and benefits, they do not act independently but work closely with RUF to achieve common goals.

A “Point of Contact” is any “warm connection” to a local community. We define local “communities” as groups of people that live in a relatively compact geographical area, e.g. “Paris Community” or “Amsterdam Community.” Every person in RUF’s network who has a personal, meaningful connection to RUF and is willing to stay in touch and occasionally be contacted by RUF (about projects, campaigns, or simply to stay in touch) can be a “Point of Contact.”

You can apply to join as a “Point of Contact” for the GlobalRomania Ambassadors Program by following the link on the website. As a “Point of Contact,” we hope you will follow RUF on social media and stay engaged with RUF activities.

No, there is no specific time commitment required for passive RUF contacts. This option is ideal for busy entrepreneurs or professionals who want to give back but have limited time.

No, membership is not required to become a passive RUF “Point of Contact.”

You can help RUF map out your local community, organize events in your community, you can share and promote RUF campaigns, and participate in the annual online all-hands Ambassadors meetup. No approval is needed; you can sign up directly.

To become a GlobalRomania Ambassador, you need to apply through the provided link on the website as a “Point of Contact” first and become a member of RUF.

Ambassadors are selected through an invitation-only process from our most active and engaged community members, followed by an interview and background check. Ambassadors serve for a renewable term of three years.

Global Romania Ambassadors enjoy various benefits, including access to the AngelsConnect app to connect with Ambassadors worldwide, introductions to RUF's extensive network, financial resources for diaspora projects and capacity building, and a warm welcome when traveling. They can pitch their projects to the community and participate in other Ambassador initiatives. Ambassadors receive a GlobalRomania Ambassador Business Card and can participate in quarterly online meetups

Ambassadors are expected to connect with local RUF Ambassadors when they travel, welcome RUF Angels and Ambassadors visiting their city, create and maintain a database of local contacts, identify new points of contact in their community, and recommend new Ambassadors. They should also actively engage in promoting RUF's mission in various ways. Learn more!
