Join the board for 2025-2026!
Each year, the Plymouth Ambassador Board hosts educational events, fundraisers, and direct service opportunities for young professionals interested in taking action. Committee members meet monthly to plan these initiatives, with a special emphasis placed on their signature fundraiser. Taking place in early summer, this memorable event provides an evening of networking and socializing and raises over $200,000 each year for Plymouth Housing.

Into the Enchanted Forest: A Night to Remember
Thank you to everyone who joined us on June 5 for Into the Enchanted Forest, the Plymouth Ambassador Board’s signature event for 2026.

Together, we created something truly magical.
