SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The City of Sacramento is seeking Community Ambassadors. Its purpose is to help build and maintain relationships with all communities, especially historically underrepresented groups.
The program is led by the city’s Neighborhood Development Action Team (NDAT). The group works to ensure that the Sacramento metro area’s neighborhoods and commercial districts reflect a sustainable, resilient and inclusive economy.
“This initiative is driven by the goal of removing cultural and language barriers that can impede access to information, resources, and opportunities,” said Lynette Hall, community engagement manager for the city. “The City is committed to making a meaningful impact by providing scholarship support, providing comprehensive training for ambassadors, and establishing a consistent platform to share information and foster dialogue.”
