The goodwill ambassadors will be wearing identifiable lime green shirts and the team leaders royal blue shirts. The volunteers will assist County residents and visitors until Monday, May 28.

 The Goodwill Ambassador Program under the Office of Community Advocacy is made up of volunteer county employees who work as ambassadors during large events, demonstrations, rallies, and elections. Morisseau makes sure more the volunteers receive annual training covering crowd control, customer service, mediation, conflict resolution, and crisis management; there is also specific briefing before deployments. The volunteers for this event are serving at the request of the County Mayor Carlos Gimenez.

The Office of Community Advocacy is charged with making Miami-Dade County “One Community” that embraces our diverse and unique population. Follow us on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter @AdvocacyMDC and follow the Goodwill Ambassadors@mdcgwa.
