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 Being Really Friendly: Our job is not only to clean but to be a visible presence and have friendly interactions with the people in the public space we serve

Ongoing Reporting: Be comfortable using our simple smartphone app to report normal activities and maintenance reports
