The answers to our community issues rely on its citizens, where each person takes a responsibility for the success of our city. The Downtown Ambassador program began as an initiative by citizens to address challenges in downtown Chico where anti-social behavior among various individuals began to affect our community. Stewardship is an ethic that invites everyone to contribute to the community to m
ake it a better place for everyone. We want to raise the expectation of what it means to be a good citizen. It is part of reviving the social contract that each of us holds, trusting that we each take responsibility for the success of our community. WE EACH HAVE A PART TO PLAY! The Downtown Ambassadors is a citizen engagement opportunity where volunteers from the community contribute to a clean and safe downtown. Ambassadors act as additional eyes and ears for our public safety and social service partners by educating, assisting, and reporting as needed on various needs and problems. The Ambassadors are a friendly source of directions, information, and assistance for the Chico area, which includes but is not limited to: residents, visitors, students, business owners, and the general public.
