The University of Colorado Boulder, the city of Boulder听and the Downtown Boulder Partnership are听joining together to听expand an听ambassador program听in the University Hill commercial听district. This program builds on the success of听the听, which was established in 2021 and is听focused on the downtown听business district and Civic Area.
The Hill Ambassador Program听will feature听full-time ambassadors providing听a听year-round presence听that focuses on听clean and safe initiatives, as well as hospitality services for both businesses and visitors on the Hill.听Ambassador听responsibilities will include听daily maintenance (graffiti removal, trash pick-up, etc.)听as well as听providing directions and helpful information to visitors and residents of the area.听
鈥淲e know that the Hill brings together our students听as well as听members of the broader Boulder community, and this program will provide focused efforts to an area that is inextricably linked to our campus,鈥� said Chancellor Philip DiStefano. 鈥淭his ambassador program听is a true collaboration between听the听university and听our听partners听throughout Boulder,听working together,听to come up with solutions that benefit听our broader community.鈥� 听
The ambassadors will also strive to contribute to a more positive visitor experience by reporting unwanted activity and disturbances directly to authorities and deterring unwanted behavior to the best of their abilities by offering information on city ordinances and community resources for those in need.
鈥淭he city of Boulder supports the ambassador program, and we鈥檙e delighted about the expansion in service and presence on University Hill,鈥� said Cris Jones, interim director of the City of Boulder Community Vitality Department.
Community members as well as students are听welcome to become ambassadors and can听search available positions and听apply through听听using the听80302 zip code.
鈥淲e are excited to be partnering with CU and the city to expand the reach of the Downtown Boulder Ambassador Program,鈥澨齭aid Chip,听DBP's CEO. (Chip goes by a first name only.) 鈥淔or the past two years, we've maintained a small presence on the Hill with a part-time ambassador and have seen many noticeable improvements. The full-time presence of the ambassadors is going to provide numerous benefits throughout the commercial district for business owners, residents and visitors alike.鈥�
