3. The Basics
1.It’s never the same. One weekend we can be found cleaning up the
neighborhood after the Griz football games with the Sunday Sweepers, the next
distributing our newsletter or organizing a pumpkin smash or helping with a
problem between student renters and their neighbors.
2.Flexible scheduling. This may seem trivial but as a student this matters deeply
to me. This job actually allows me to work and be a student at the same time. As
a Neighborhood Ambassador you are a student first. The role of a Neighborhood
Ambassador is also independent. You have the ability to make your role specific
to you. Interested in a specific issue that you want to tackle in the Missoula
community (ex. sustainability, renters rights, housing insecurity)? This is the place
to do it.
3.Doing things that matter. I am all about seeing the fruits of my labor and making
tangible connections. Really I think most people get excited by these two things.
Being a Neighborhood Ambassador has helped me feel like I actually live in
Missoula and am not just a student here. Through this job I have spoken in front
of the Missoula City Council, represented student interests at countless
Neighborhood Council meetings, and gotten to make cotton candy for kiddos at
our annual Party in the Park.
