So, you graduated from General Assembly. Congrats. 
You survived the late-night homework, the coffee-fueled projects, the existential career pivot. And now? You’re thriving in the “what’s next”—whether you’ve already landed a full-time gig or you’re still on the search.
Either way, your GA story isn’t over yet.
We’ve got a little something called the General Assembly Ambassador Program. It’s a fancy name for: tell your friends about us, and we’ll pay you for it.
Yeah. It really is that simple.
Why become a General Assembly ambassador?
You already did the work. You know the grind, the glow-up, and the way GA can flip a career trajectory like a pancake. So why not help someone else make the same move—and get paid in the process?
We’re talking $250 to $1,000 (USD) per referral. That’s not chump change. That’s a bill (or two). Concert tickets. Finally upgrading your toaster. It’s a win for everyone: you get paid (plus the joy of knowing you helped someone go after their goals), they get a promising future in tech, and we get to keep doing what we do best.
How to join the General Assembly ambassador program and get paid
Step 1: Sign up for the General Assembly Affiliate Program
Go to Partnerize and sign up for our affiliate program. This is your gateway into the Ambassador universe. It takes just a few minutes and, unlike your bootcamp final project, doesn’t require blood, sweat, or tears. Our affiliate team will then approve your application within 24-48 hours.” (if, for some reason, it takes longer than that, please email affiliates@generalassemb.ly and give us a nudge.)
Step 2: Set up your payment info
You’ll need to connect your bank info so we can send you your money. No payment info, no payout. We’re not in the business of IOUs. (We respect your hustle too much for that.)
Step 3: Generate your unique tracking links
Once you’re approved, you can start creating unique links that track who signs up through you. This is how we know you’re the one doing the convincing, not some random internet stranger.
Pro tip: Share these links in your Instagram bio, your LinkedIn profile, your email signature, you get the idea. There’s no harm in having it easily available to your network.
Step 4: Get access to marketing materials
Don’t worry, we’re not sending you into battle without backup. Once you’re in, you’ll get access to a full suite of marketing materials: logos, banners, image ads, and more. Basically, everything you need to look legit while promoting GA.
Think of it as your influencer starter pack, minus the skincare routine.
Step 5: Review your performance and get paid
You’ll be able to track everything—clicks, conversions, payouts—right from your dashboard. It’s like having your own little marketing command center. You can see what’s working, what’s not, and plan your next move accordingly.
Oh, and did we mention the cash? That shows up here, too.
Who should you refer?
Remember how lost you were before GA? That’s who. People in career limbo. Friends stuck in dead-end jobs. Cousins who can’t stop talking about “getting into tech.” Coworkers who keep asking how you landed your new gig.
Send them your link. Help them level up. Get paid. Repeat.
And since you’re here: feel free to direct them to our full lineup of tech bootcamps and short courses. You know the deal.
This is how you keep the cycle going
You got where you are because someone (maybe even you) decided to take a leap. GA helped make that jump feel a little less terrifying. Now you get to be that person for someone else.
And yes, you also get paid. Did we mention that?
Final thoughts (a.k.a., let’s make this awkward)
You don’t need to be an influencer or a sales machine to be a great ambassador—you just need to be someone who believes in what GA does. And if you’re reading this, you probably already do.
So sign up. Share your story. Post the link. Get paid. Repeat.
