Join Our Team
Your support and your time help us build a stronger community on and off the mat.
PROSPECTIVE AMBASSADORS
Ambassadors are the heart of the Open Mat Foundation. They help us expand our reach by sharing our mission, supporting fundraising efforts, mentoring scholarship recipients, and building connections within their communities. Whether you are a veteran, a jiu jitsu practitioner, or simply someone passionate about making a difference, you can play an important role in helping veterans, first responders, and children step onto the mat. If you are ready to inspire others and strengthen our community, we would love to connect with you.
PROSPECTIVE TRAINING FACILITIES
Our scholarship recipients need a safe and supportive place to train, and that’s where our partner academies come in. Training facilities that join the Open Mat Foundation network open their doors to veterans, first responders, and underprivileged children, giving them access to the transformative benefits of jiu jitsu.
We partner with established academies led by experienced instructors who share our vision of service, respect, discipline, and community. Facilities that participate not only change the lives of scholarship students but also become part of a growing movement to make jiu jitsu accessible to all. If your academy is interested in becoming a partner facility, we’d love to hear from you.
