• We expect our Community Ambassadors to be the biggest cheerleaders and role models for their local Yelp Elite Squad. As such, Community Ambassadors must always meet the Elite Squad eligibility requirements and comply with our Elite Terms of Membership.

  Additionally, to maintain Yelp’s integrity and avoid conflicts of interest, our Community Ambassadors are prohibited from accepting any form of compensation in exchange for promoting a company’s goods or services.
