Do you have a neighborhood problem that needs solving — perhaps something relating to traffic calming, green spaces, or other civic issues — and not sure where to start?
Metro’s Neighborhood Ambassador Academy helps you turn those problems into solutions.
Led by the Mayor’s Office of Neighborhoods and Community Engagement, the free course introduces residents to a variety of Metro programs and sectors. Over the course of six weeks, the academy will help neighborhood ambassadors learn how to:
- Define a problem
- Identify stakeholders needed to address the problem
- Connect with city officials and others who can help identify the solution
- Develop a plan/budget
- Present and pitch a plan
- Provide tools on moving the solution forward
Ambassadors are selected through an application process, which closes on Sunday, July 14 for the 2024 cohort.
