Become an ambassador
We are grateful over the last three years of Soultrane Festival, to have people of influence who have aligned their hearts and their reach, with promoting our community, our goals, turning up to events, and actively sharing our message on socials. Soultrane ambassadors are integral to community building, both locally and across the world. People who advocate for Soultrane are actively driving cultural unity with their support. It is also a revival of the soul movement, in all of its forms, and through this we can create huge much -needed change.
If this feels like something you are called to do, please fill in the short form below and a member of our team, or our director, will be in touch with you.
