What is a Program Champion?

An Interface Program Champion uses their social media network to help spread information about the difficult situations that Interface clients face every day. They are passionate about Interface and wish to support our work in their community. You don’t have to have personal experience with these issues to share your passion for the programs below! We’ve created exclusive content and access to social media posts made just for our Program Champions to share. Click on one of the programs below to download the zip file of social media-ready posts, copy and paste your favorite captions and share! Be sure to tag Interface on your social media posts and use the hashtag #ProgramChampion so that we can share your support.
