New opportunity with D&L

The D&L is launching a new outreach and public relations volunteer group this year. Being a D&L Ambassador is a great opportunity for volunteers of all ages. Please see below for more details:

D&L Ambassadors

The Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor (D&L) Ambassadors serve as representatives of the organization to the public in various roles. D&L Ambassadors are required to attend one training session to learn about the organization, how it operates, and how to explain what the D&L does to the public. Trainings are offered monthly.

D&L Ambassadors will represent the organization in the following ways:

1. Host “Pop Up Visitor Centers” along the D&L Trail. This involves setting up a table at a D&L Trailhead for several hours, handing out promotional materials and trail maps, and answering questions about the organization. You can choose the dates and locations you’d like to host a Pop Up Visitor Center.

2. Represent the D&L at Corridor outreach events. This involves setting up a table at scheduled events like PeepsFest, local festivals, race expos and more. D&L Ambassadors will hand out promotional materials and trail maps, and answer questions about the organization.

3. Represent the D&L at National Canal Museum membership tables. This involves setting up a table in the National Canal Museum Welcome Center and promoting D&L Membership to visitors. You can choose to do this any day that the National Canal Museum is open, but the priority month for membership tables is June.
