Downtown Denton Ambassador Program
The Downtown Denton Ambassador Program, a partnership with Block by Block, is a two-year pilot program designed to help build and maintain a clean, safe, and thriving downtown for residents, businesses, and visitors alike.
A team of ambassadors are on site seven days a week to engage those visiting, living, and working in the downtown area. Ambassadors will provide cleaning and hospitality services; provide community assistance, as needed; and provide a friendly, smiling face in downtown Denton.
Kevin Woods is at the Discover Denton Visitor Center on Wednesdays and Fridays from 1pm – 3pm.
Looking for More to Explore?
Ensuring a safe and enjoyable evening often involves planning for responsible drinking. Prior to going out, arrange a designated driver or utilize ride-sharing services like Uber or Lyft. When at your destination, maintain awareness of your surroundings and your belongings. Most importantly, prioritize hydration by alternating alcoholic drinks with water. This simple practice allows your body to process alcohol effectively and helps avoid dehydration, which can significantly worsen hangovers. By following these steps, you can ensure a memorable evening without compromising your safety or well-being.
