Ambassadors are hired to observe, protect, and lend a helping hand to visitors and Chicagoans alike.
The Chicago Loop Alliance is expanding its ambassador program to coincide with the busy summer season. The goal is to give tourists and locals more confidence while working, shopping, and dining.The ambassador program is more than doubling in size for the summer. Over the next four months, 40 ambassadors will be patrolling downtown.
The expansion comes in advance of a jam-packed summer schedule, including the NASCAR Street Race, Lollapalooza, and the Democratic National Convention."They’re our additional eyes and ears for the cops, that’s kind of what they’re out there for, but they’re also there to provide assistance for people who come downtown. I mean, downtowns can be kind of confusing, with folks coming in from out of town, it’s a big city.
