Clean Team
CCCBD’s supplemental maintenance support for Civic Center shows pride and stewardship of the District. Furthermore, addressing issues like litter, graffiti, and general upkeep in a timely manner keeps acts of vandalism at bay creating an accessible, equitable, and comfortable environment for everyone. This daily maintenance, and immediate response to cleaning needs in the District, is possible because of the dedicated work of the Clean Team, who provides services 7 days a week.

Community Ambassadors
The Ambassadors assist the public in navigating the District with a welcoming and informed presence, 7 days a week 7 am to 7 pm. They are easily identified by their orange uniforms. Their presence is also a deterrent to criminal activity through their proactive and immediate reporting of unsafe conditions to CCCBD dispatch, which disperses the information to various City agencies such as the San Francisco Police Department (SFPD). They also assist in connecting those in need of medical attention or social service support with the proper agency.

Night Ambassadors work on Tuesday through Saturday evenings from 6 to 11 pm near arts venues to enhance the pedestrian experience before and after evening performances and events. An Ambassador is also dedicated to the street-level entrance to the Civic Center Garage.

Please Note: Due to COVID-19 our temporary, modified hours are Monday-Saturday 9 am to 5 pm, with evening Ambassadors reassigned to daytime hours.

Playground Safety
Dedicated safety guards watch over both Helen Diller Civic Center Playgrounds, ensuring the safety of children and their families. The guards also ensure the safety of the grounds and equipment at night.
