About One Planet One People One Planet One People (1POP) is a global nonprofit operating at the intersection of sports, sustainability, and social change. Through our Sustainable Sports Network (SSN) and a portfolio of 40+ customizable programs aligned with the U.N.'s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), we work with sports leagues, teams, athletes, corporations, and governments to drive meaningful, measurable improvements in quality of life for kids, people, and the planet.

We believe the world is at a tipping point — and that sports has an unparalleled power to inspire behavioral change at massive scale. Our programs are built on the principles of Civility, Equality, Diversity, Action, Inclusion & Sustainability (CEDAIS). We don't just talk about impact. We create it — together.

THE OPPORTUNITY We are seeking passionate, well-connected, mission-driven individuals to join our Sports-for-Good Ambassador program as Volunteers or Interns. This is your chance to sit at the intersection of elite sports and global impact — helping bridge the gap between what sports organizations want to achieve (ESG, EDI, CSR goals) and what the world desperately needs.

If you have existing relationships with professional or collegiate sports athletes, teams, or leagues — and you want to put those connections to work for the greater good — this role was built for you. What You Can Do As a Sports-for-Good Ambassador, you can

• Serve as a frontline liaison between 1POP's Sustainable Sports Network and your sports contacts — including athletes, team front offices, leagues, and sports associations
• Introduce and pitch 1POP's ESG, EDI, and CSR fan-based programs and initiatives to sports organizations looking to deepen their social impact and community engagement
• Support outreach, engagement, and activation campaigns aligned with the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals

• Assist in building and managing partnerships with sports leagues, teams, sponsors, and community organizations
• Contribute to content creation, social media, PR, and marketing promotion efforts for the SSN
