Block Ambassadors

Our signature program, launched in October 2020, allows citizens in Oregon and Washington to adopt up to two blocks as a volunteer Block Ambassador.

Our team delivers free cleanup supplies straight to their doorstep when they sign up and whenever they need more. We also provide opportunities to connect and build a sense of community and teamwork.

Block Brigade

Groups of Block Ambassadors team up to clean areas in Portland that need a greater level of care. Groups are organized and led by Super Block Ambassadors.

Areas currently being maintained by Block Brigades are SE Harold (SE 92nd to SE 104th), SE Foster (SE 92nd to SE 104th), and SE Holgate (SE 82nd to SE 96th).
