Block by Block is looking for people who like working outdoors, staying active, and feeling a sense of accomplishment while improving some of your city's most important public spaces. If you love interacting with people in your current environment but are looking for more variety in your assignments, this might be the job for you!

Cleaning Ambassadors are often like the local caretakers in the public spaces they serve because they :

• Professionally represent not only us but our customers, and they realize we're highly visible and operate in one of our cities' most important fishbowls.
• Help the public see that the space we serve is clean and more inviting, leading to more return visits and sharing positive experiences.
• Take ownership of every person's experience in the public space, whether it's a visitor, resident, worker, or member of the street population.
• Take action to address issues that don't make the area clean.

• Keeping sidewalks and streetscapes clean and litter-free
• Removing graffiti and stickers
• Making spaces bright through power washing
• Staying visible and friendly: our job is to be a visible presence and have friendly interactions with the people we serve.
• Ongoing reporting: use a simple smartphone app to report normal activities and maintenance reports.

You love going home every day with the sense of accomplishment that you made your city or someone else's day better.

No matter what experience you have, you're ready to try something new, which is also a great career opportunity with paid training.

You like being active. (Who doesn't like paid exercise!)

You are looking for a fantastic, second career opportunity (a.k.a. We love retirees!).

• You are looking for only a Monday through Friday job. We are busy all day (especially on the weekends).

• You don't like people.
• You're not at least 18.
