Do you want to be a
Census Ambassador?
 The job of Census Ambassador is to provide the public with solid, factual information about the Census as well as answer questions the public may have. Topics include: Why completing the census is so important, confidentiality, what the Census asks, the Census timeline, and where to get assistance in completing the digital Census. You won't actually help people complete the Census, but you will help spread the word.
Census Ambassadors will staff tables at busy points throughout the City, including the Library lobby, as well as at events. We will arm you with plenty of fact sheets to distribute.
Interested? Register for a brief, 20-minute training session at the Library. Sessions will be on Wednesday, March 11 at 6:00 p.m.; Friday, March 13 at 2:00 p.m.; and Wednesday, March 18 at 10:15 a.m.
And if you know of a good event we should attend, let me know!
