San Francisco Welcome Ambassadors
The San Francisco Welcome Ambassadors Program is a 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. All Welcome Ambassadors are trained in awareness and de-escalation and there is an additional team of Special Response Ambassadors who assist with more urgent situations.
Welcome Ambassadors will also 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 some local events, cruise ship passengers in transit and guiding convention visitors to and from meetings.
The program will operate during CSBA’s Annual Education Conference and Trade Show during the hours between 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
