We are thrilled to announce the fourth cohort of the OpenAQ Community Ambassador Program! Together with OpenAQ, these talented young professionals commit to advocating for data transparency and contributing to collective action against air pollution.
In addition to receiving training from the OpenAQ team on the current technology and tools for air quality data analysis, such as the OpenAQ Explorer and API, the Community Ambassadors will learn about the fundamentals of air pollution monitoring, air pollution and health, and open data principles. They will also have opportunities to interact with the wide network of air quality researchers and advocates within the OpenAQ community.
As OpenAQ Community Ambassadors, these individuals will facilitate open data and air quality monitoring in their locales. To jumpstart this, they will receive air sensors—many thanks to the generosity and support of our partners AirGradient and ATMO.
