Volunteer Programs

Community Ambassadors

Our Community Ambassadors are local volunteers
that serve as a community liaison, providing a direct

point of communication for our residents and
spreading awareness about events and opportunities
within our community. Our Ambassadors attended
various events throughout Elk Grove to include: the
Western Festival, Comedy Under the Stars, the
opening of the new Aquatics Center, Food Truck
Mania, and neighborhood back to school picnics. The
goal of the Community Ambassadors is to engage in
meaningful dialogue with Elk Grove residents. In

2019, our Ambassadors attended over 50 events!

In 2019, Elk Grove PD had 36 active
Community Ambassadors!
