Become a GOC Ambassador and Help Change Lives!
Our Next GOC Ambassador Event will be April 25. Please contact [email protected] if you wish to attend.
At the Gainesville Opportunity Center (GOC), we’re doing something special—we help adults living with chronic mental illness rejoin our community and find meaningful jobs. But we can’t do it alone—we need your help!
When you become a GOC Ambassador, you’re joining a team of passionate community members dedicated to raising funds and spreading the word about the life-changing work happening at the GOC. Our Ambassadors play a crucial role in our success—if we can bring together 50 Ambassadors, each raising an extra $1,000 to $2,000, it will significantly impact our ability to support more Members and expand our programs.
Ambassador dinners are not only impactful, they’re also incredibly entertaining! Each event features a fun theme such as Gilligan’s Island or Superheroes, complete with skits and videos performed by our talented GOC Members and Staff. Guests leave inspired, having seen firsthand how their support can change lives.
As an Ambassador, you’ll:
- Invite your friends, family, and colleagues to tour or enjoy lunch at our Clubhouse, where they’ll see firsthand how Members build confidence and independence.
- Introduce potential supporters to our Ambassador Dinner fundraisers, where every guest learns how they can directly impact the lives of people in our community.
- Connect us with local businesses interested in employing our Members or sponsoring our events.
- Help us build valuable relationships with other community resources in medical, housing, and education services.
- Share the inspiring success stories of our Members, showing others the power of support and understanding.
Being a GOC Ambassador means you’re part of something bigger—you’re helping adults with mental illness achieve greater independence, dignity, and hope. Your involvement helps make our community stronger, healthier, and more inclusive for everyone.
