Frequently Asked Questions
Is the position in-person or virtual?
The position is primarily in-person, as Ambassadors need to engage directly with their communities. However, virtual engagement may be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Can public employees apply to be Community Ambassadors?
The state conflict of interest law (Massachusetts General Law Chapter 268A) generally prohibits state employees from having a financial interest in a state contract. Community Ambassadors will have an interest in a state contract through an independent contractor agreement with the Treasury, which we believe would violate the conflict-of-interest law. Therefore, employees of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and any of its agencies or political subdivisions are not eligible to apply for the Community Ambassador Program. Employees of Massachusetts state universities or community colleges are considered state employees and are therefore not eligible to become a Community Ambassador.
Applicants who are employees of municipalities or other public agencies may be eligible to apply depending on the circumstances of their employment, and their applications will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
We appreciate your interest in the program and hope you share this opportunity with your network. In addition, we would be happy to discuss other ways we can work together.
Where will Community Ambassadors be located? Do I need transportation?
Ambassadors will be based in communities where they already have strong connections. Transportation to training and other sites is the Ambassador's responsibility.
Do I need to be a Massachusetts resident?
While we consider all applicants, living and working within the community you serve is ideal for building strong relationships and promoting financial education.
What documentation will I need to provide if selected?
Selected candidates must provide picture ID and a Social Security Number (SSN) or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) to receive the stipend.
