Pokémon Fever took over San Francisco, and the Yerba Buena Ambassadors were there every step of the way to help make the event a success!

An estimated 50k people attended the Pokemon World Championships at the Moscone Center. During major events like this, Ambassadors assist with directions, answer questions, and provide support to help create a positive experience for attendees. They also keep the streets and event grounds clean, take photos, and assist with setup and breakdown.

Thank you, Yerba Buena Ambassadors, for helping visitors feel welcome and ensuring they had a wonderful experience in San Francisco!

It's the little things that make a big difference.

While most people walk right past curbs and ignore spaces beneath benches, our Albuquerque Ambassadors see every opportunity to make an impact. By giving extra attention to these often-overlooked areas, they help prevent leaves and debris from accumulating.

It's this proactive approach that helps keep the district clean, inviting, and well cared for.

Because creating great public spaces isn't just about tackling the obvious — it's about paying attention to the details that shape how people experience a community every day.

"It's just graffiti." Or is it?

Graffiti may seem like a cosmetic issue, but its impact goes beyond appearances. Tags and vandalism can make an area feel neglected, discourage visitors, and affect how people perceive the safety and cleanliness of a neighborhood.

That's why our Ambassadors work to identify, report, and remove graffiti quickly. By addressing it before it spreads, they help keep public spaces clean and send a strong message: this community cares.

We love hearing how our Ambassadors are making a difference in the communities they serve.

The Downtown Wichita Clean Team launched in February, and they’ve been hard at work helping keep downtown clean, welcoming and cared for.

So far, the team has:
▪Completed 127 biohazard cleanups
▪Removed 583 bills and stickers
▪Removed 364 instances of graffiti
▪Collected 1,449 bags of leaves and debris
▪Removed 339 weeds

But the impact goes beyond the numbers. Hearing positive feedback directly from community members is a reminder that the Clean Team’s hard work is being seen and appreciated.

Great work, Downtown Wichita Clean Team! 👏
