Boulder Ambassadors

The Hill Ambassador program provides support for businesses and visitors throughout the University Hill commercial district.

Ambassadors can help with:

Trash, broken glass, and biohazard removal and cleanup on sidewalks and streets
Graffiti removal on building exteriors, light poles, mailboxes, etc.
Maintenance issues
Wellness checks and discouraging unwanted behavior
Wayfinding

The presence of our hardworking Ambassadors helps deter unwanted behavior and leads to cleaner, safer streets and sidewalks on The Hill, but Ambassadors are not replacements for police or trained Crisis Intervention responders. If you see something dangerous or illegal happening, or if someone is having a mental health crisis, call 911. The city's Crisis Intervention Response Team sends behavioral health professionals to intervene alongside police and medical responders.
