What is a block captain?

Block Captains are community volunteers who serve as liaisons between residents and neighborhood organizations or city officials. Their main role is to facilitate communication, organize neighborhood activities, share important information, and help coordinate responses to local concerns such as safety, cleanliness, and emergency preparedness. Block Captains often distribute newsletters or updates, encourage community participation, and report issues affecting their block. They play a vital role in building a sense of community and ensuring that residents stay informed and engaged.
