Building Stronger Communities Through Civic Leadership<\/h2>\n
The Community Captains Program is a volunteer leadership initiative created by Deputy Speaker Dr. Nantasha Williams empowers residents to become active partners in improving their neighborhoods. Community Captains work alongside our office to identify local concerns, connect neighbors with resources, support community events, and strengthen communication between residents and City government.<\/p>\n
Whether participating in neighborhood cleanups, conducting community outreach, assisting with surveys, or helping connect constituents to City services, Community Captains play an important role in making our communities cleaner, safer, and more connected.<\/p>\n
