Ambassadors

Side by side. Building something better together.

ReSpawn’s ambassadors aren’t just representatives of our mission. They’re co-creators of it.

Whether they’re treating patients or navigating life after injury, our Clinical and Player Ambassadors work together to design tools, teach others, and show the world what’s possible when adapted gaming is part of care.
