Oakland Community Ambassadors

Interested in becoming an Oakland Community Ambassador? Learn more and apply here.

The Oakland Community Ambassadors are a group of Pitt students who aim to engage with the Pitt and local communities through programming and service initiatives to create a safer, healthier, greener, and better-connected Oakland. The ambassadors work with off-campus students and neighbors to better understand, support, and collaborate with the Oakland community.

The ambassadors work in 5 different teams, or zones, approximately representing the neighborhoods in Oakland. These include:

  • North Oakland
  • South Oakland
  • West Oakland
  • Central Oakland
  • Oakcliffe

You can find the ambassadors who represent your area walking around with information, resources, and swag! 

If you'd like to get in touch with the ambassadors, please email them at oaklandambassadors@pitt.edu

Meet your 2023-24 ambassadors:

North Oakland: Cate, Kara

South Oakland: Katie, Zoé, Bianca

West Oakland: Maggie, Rishi

Central Oakland: Carmelo, Shreya, Phil

Get involved with this program by signing up to volunteer at one of the Oakland Community Ambassador events, such as neighborhood cleanups or check back in the Spring to apply to be an ambassador for next year.
