Walking Ambassadors

Become A Walking Ambassador

Neighborhood Walking Ambassadors lead walks that inspire, connect and inform the community about neighborhood assets. 

We are imagining a different way of connecting with our surroundings that takes steps towards improving personal and environmental health while sharing knowledge. Neighborhood Walking Ambassadors organize themed, interpretive walking events intended to bring neighbors together and expose them to the experience of walking in their own neighborhood. Some examples of a themed walk would include: a walk to visit a new park or pathway, a historical walk, a nighttime holiday walk, and a nature walk. 

You also will play an important role in engaging the neighborhood about the importance of creating walkable communities. More people out walking means more eyes on the street and bolsters neighborhood pride and social connections. These walks are intended to build local advocacy, which we can support through Walking Audits and Crosswalk Actions.

You will work with Feet First to coordinate date/time/location of at least one walk per year. Feet First will make sure you have all of the resources and support you need to get started!
