Street Ambassadors

What is a Street Ambassador?

From Getting Allston on Board to Safer Comm Ave, volunteer Street Ambassadors play a pivotal role in many of LivableStreets' campaigns. Trained by our staff and lead advocates, Street Ambassadors actively engage with people on the street, distributing surveys and information to help put community at the center of street improvement projects.

A woman with light skin and brown hair pulled back in a ponytail is wearing an orange LivableStreets shirt. She is talking to a woman with light skin and light brown hair who is wearing a backpack. They stand near a bus stop where people are congregated.

Why Street Ambassadors?

The best way to improve a street is to get out there and get people talking about it. Street Ambassadors play a crucial role in demystifying the public process, organizing community concerns, and directly communicating those concerns to officials and decision-makers. Street Ambassadors help to amplify a diversity of voices to ensure that our streets are safe, accessible, and equitable.

Thanks to the support of our Street Ambassadors we collected more than 1500 responses for our Longwood Area Multimodal Survey in 2017. The hard work of our Street Ambassadors helped lay the groundwork for our report "Finding A Cure: Transportation in the Longwood Area."

Street Ambassador duties can include:

Helping to administer surveys and collect petition signatures
Communicating goals and benefits of proposed projects
Handing out informational flyers
Asking community members for their feedback

A trio of people stand next to a building. From left to right, they are a short Black woman who has glasses and is giving the camera a big smile; a tall white man with short dark hair and dark sunglasses, also smiling at the camera; and a thin white man with gray hair who is smiling at the camea without showing his teeth. All three are wearing orange LivableStreets t-shirts.
