Become a Community Ambassador

Join Revitalizing Waterbury (RW) as a volunteer Community Ambassador and help welcome visitors to the Waterbury Train Station Visitor Center.  As a Community Ambassador, you’ll greet locals and tourists and offer helpful information about Waterbury, Central Vermont, and the state.

  • Provide recommendations on attractions, dining, events, lodging and history in Waterbury and surrounding towns
  • Offer clear directions to area attractions and events and answer questions from guests of all ages
  • Engage respectfully with individuals and small groups
  • Keep the Visitor Center tidy and organized. Notify RW if additional materials need to be ordered
  • Record visitor data 
  • Stay in touch with RW staff to share updates or concerns and provide feedback to help RW improve the visitor experience

What you'll offer

  • Friendly, engaging communication and storytelling skills
  • Passion for Waterbury and interest in local and Vermont history
  • Enthusiasm for interacting with a variety of visitors—from school groups to international tourists
  • Willingness to learn and share community information
  • Ability to juggle multiple interactions with ease

Your Involvement

  • Volunteers can commit to one time slot per week or choose several volunteer slots throughout this period
  • We plan to have Ambassadors at the Visitor Center 3 days per week in 2 hour shifts (10am–12pm or 12pm–2pm), from Memorial Day to Columbus Day, and during key holiday periods (e.g., Thanksgiving, Christmas, Canadian holidays)
