BECOME AN AMBASSADOR FOR SAN FRANCISCO

Welcome Ambassadors Program

The San Francisco Welcome Ambassadors Program is a two-year City-funded program to help welcome meeting and convention attendees, commuters, and visitors back to San Francisco. In addition to offering a friendly greeting, they’re here to answer questions and report any incidents of negative street behavior or conditions.

Welcome Ambassadors help with directions, restaurant recommendations, public transportation, and translation requests. If you see an ambassador in an orange uniform, stop and say hello! The team can also be seen assisting with local events, helping cruise ship passengers in transit, and guiding convention visitors around town.

The program was officially launched in November 2021 and operates seven days per week. Hours vary based on location and day of the week, generally between 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Community Ambassadors Program

The Community Ambassadors Program (CAP) is a community safety and neighborhood engagement program in San Francisco. Community Ambassadors engage, inform, and assist the San Francisco community. CAP also provides a visible, non-law enforcement safety presence in several neighborhoods. This focus on community safety helps build trust, calm tensions, and prevent violence.

Community Ambassadors provide safety escorts, report emergencies, report hazards, conduct wellness checks, provide social services referrals, and conduct outreach.

Applications to be a Community Ambassador are accepted on a rolling basis at sf.gov/ambassadorapply.

and that soon see rates stabilizing and decreasing.

Rental agents are reporting a vibrant rental market for the general marketplace, except for the Downtown corridor and SOMA. The recent layoffs do not seem to be impacting rents as people continue to return to the city.
