The City of Sacramento is recruiting \u201ccommunity ambassadors\u201d to build and maintain relationships with community partners and residents who represent\u00a0culturally and linguistically diverse populations and\u00a0historically underrepresented communities.<\/p>\n
Led by City\u2019s\u00a0Neighborhood Development Action Team<\/a>\u00a0(NDAT), the program provides a stipend to 18 active community members to assist in promoting City services and communications by sharing information with their networks and respective communities.<\/p>\n \u201cThis program is all about bridging gaps and ensuring that all Sacramento residents, regardless of background or language, have the opportunity to access vital information and resources,\u201d said Lynette Hall, the City\u2019s Community Engagement Manager. \u201cThrough this initiative, we\u2019re fostering deeper connections, empowering ambassadors with the training and support they need, and creating a sustainable platform for ongoing dialogue and community growth.\u201d<\/p>\n Community ambassadors, who will receive $6,000 a year as part of their stipend, are expected to serve as a liaison between the City and community and are required to attend monthly meetings to discuss upcoming community engagement activities, events, and efforts of the City and share community events, needs and concerns.<\/p>\n Community ambassadors are also able to receive compensation for translation and interpretation support, as well as funding to put toward special projects. Past special projects have included an acting competition and poetry event where participants share resources from the\u00a0communication toolkit<\/a>, a workshop explaining the City\u2019s 311 service and a community dinner at a local restaurant where employment resources and business grants were shared.<\/p>\n The community ambassadors will serve a 12-month term from January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026.<\/p>\n Those interested can\u00a0apply online<\/a>\u00a0by 11:59 p.m. on October 31, 2025.
